I have a question about the following paragraph:


Latitude

Ambient Temperature calculations are such that the average temperature at a given latitude will be similar to the same latitude in degrees north of the equator in a continental (ie non-coastal) location of North America. This results in world generation similar to that of the real world, with deserts near the equator, and arctic near the poles.

So if my z is currently -4602. I know I am north. How far north am I? Its 10,002 km from the equator in real life. So I'm 4.5 km from the equator.

(4.5/10,002)*90 = .0404 degrees north

Is this correct?

If so I'd like to add the example calculation to the page. I think it'll help clarify.
