I’m surprised that there isn’t GPS coordinate system which is just kilometers. Instead of 360 degrees uses 40,000 km. The real calculation would use the real distances but the approximation is close enough. This means don’t have to do any conversion to distances, at least for metric folks.
One problem with degrees is that hard to convert to useful distances. This tricks help a lot, but it would be better to have no conversion.
