New York City's Geographic Latitude-Longitude Flags

Since NYC lies on 10s line the second white star is understood and not necessary

Geographic Latitude-Longitude flags are apolitical flags that convey information.  They represent latitude and longitude and can be flown anywhere on the planet.

New York City just happens to lie on two degrees, on the 73rd and 74th Western line of longitude.  Thus NYC can fly two flags.  One dividing spot in Lower Manhattan is along Broadway and Broome Street.  For the record all of Staten Island flies the same flag with a green fly, as does the Statue of Liberty.  And the most of the Brooklyn Bridge flies the yellow fly except for the entrance on Manhattan's side.  Since all of NYC lies along the 40 Degrees North they both have a green and white star. 

 NYC's East Side flag has a yellow fly.  All of Queens, the Bronx, and most of Brooklyn plus Manhattan can fly this flag. 

 NYC's West Side Latitude-Longitude flag has green fly.  All of Staten Island and just the western nibble of Manhattan plus the Brooklyn can fly this flag.

International Geographic Latitude-Longitude Flags

International Geographic Latitude-Longitude Flags are a type of geographic flag.  The designs are coded to latitude and longitude.  These flags are non-political and scientific in orientation, but any nation can fly any of these flags.  The three bars represent longitude while the stars represent latitude.  Each colour represents a number:

(0) zero is represented white
(1) one is represented red
(2) two is represented by orange
(3) three is represented by yellow
(4) four is represented by green
(5) five is represented by blue
(6) six is represented by indigo
(7) seven is represented by purple
(8) eight is represented by black
(9) nine is represented by pink
(#?) unknown is represented by grey


Latitude is represented by the two stars and is read according to which hemisphere they represent.  In the Northern Hemisphere the stars point upwards and are read downwards, but for Southern Hemisphere flags, the stars point downwards and are read upwards.
 
Longitude is represented by the three vertical tribars.  In the Eastern Hemisphere the colours are read left to right.  An easy way to remember is that popular Eastern Alphabets in the Eastern Hemisphere use this orientation like Hebrew, Arabic, and vertical Chinese/Japanese. But in the Western Hemisphere colours are read right to left.  Likewise languages that use the Western Roman-Italian Alphabet read left to right, and dominate the Western Hemisphere.

Below is a selected example of three cities with their Geographic Latitude-Longitude flags: Bangkok, Singapore, and Can Tho City.
