How do MarineTraffic APIs define MINLAT, MINLON, MAXLAT, MAXLON in terms of if you have tow latitude values, which one is "min" and which one is "max", same question about two longitude values.

  Hello Michael Bender,

  The MIN value for either LAT or LON will be the value which is smaller, e.g. 
  LATITUDE 29.7070 is smaller than 29.7114, hence MINLAT should be 29.7070
  and LONGITUDE -89.9920 is smaller than -89.9771, hence MINLON should be 89.9920
