This degree converter will let you change your latitude and longitudevalues between degrees (D); degrees and minutes (DM); and degrees, minutes,seconds (DMS). They are used for various different software packages andwith a GPS.The calculations are very simple and already exist on other web sites,but I decided to make my own so I could have it be small, fast, andfeature-packed.
Decimal Degrees To Lat Long
Convert FromResult:DegreesDegrees MinutesDegrees Minutes SecondsHow do I use this thing?Enter any type of coordinates into the white box and you will get thecoordinates converted to decimal degrees, degrees and minutes, or DMS(degrees, minutes, seconds). You can enter coordinates in practically anyformat.
For instance, you can use: N 45.1235N 45 12.3.5W 93.87654-0312.987W-093° 12' 34.89'The converter is not picky. Just copy & pasteand it will work.If you can find a type of coordinate that it does not handle correctly,just leave me a message in the shoutbox below and I will figure out how toparse that style too.
Angle Degree Converter
Thanks for answers by @Gord Stephen and @CephBirk. Sure helped me out.I thought I'd just mention that I also found that measurements::convunit doesn't deal with 'E/W' 'N/S' entries, it requires positive/negative degrees.My coordinates comes as character strings '1 1 1W' and needs to first be converted to '-1 1 1'.I thought I'd share my solution for that.
