I just typed in the coordinates for LAX from the database (33.9425, 118.4072) into Google Maps, and it lead me to a location in China. It seems like it was supposed to be -118.4072 instead. It seems like all the longitudes were supposed to have a negative in it, but it does not have it on the database. You'll probably need to add a code to make the longitude negative in your program.

Just a heads up.

He explained in class that the long and lat are switched

What do you mean? On the database, it says that LAX is at (33.9425, 118.4072). However, the actual coordinate is at (33.9425, -118.4072). 

Also, we didn't have class during week 10 for Thursday.

I remember him saying in week 9 that the coordinates are switched because when he tried to show the example it didn't work until he switched them around. I guess he fixed it.
