Latitude is positive in north and negative in south.
Similarly, Longitude is positive in east and negative in west.

if(value<0)
//value is negative

If 1st value = positive the mean you are in East
If 1st value = negative the mean you are in West
If 2nd value = positive the mean you are in North
If 2nd value = negative the mean you are in South
