Hi Al
When I lived in the UK, I set my Vixen latitude scale to 54 degrees, the Latitude of Leeds.
When I moved to Brisbane, I set it to 27.5 degrees, the Latitude of Brisbane.
This is simply an angular measurement of the inclination of the axis of the Earth's rotation, which corresponds to your Latitude.
As I have never used a Meade wedge, I cannot comment on its Latitude scale, but I would be surprised if it is not just as straightforward as the Vixen's. That is, it doesn't care whether its N or S of the equator.
Cheers
Dennis
