Share this location What is DMS?DMS is the abbreviation for Degrees Minutes Seconds.Degrees minutes seconds (DMS) are special type of units used for measuring angles, as an alternative to decimal way to stating the size of an angle. It is a known fact that there are 360 degrees in a whole circle, with 1/60th of those being 1 minute, and 1/60th of one minute being 1 second. DMS includes degrees (°), minutes ('), seconds ('), with the corresponding symbols, and a size of any angle can be stated like, for example, 30 degrees, 10 minutes, 50 seconds.The numerical values for latitude and longitude in decimal number format are:° for degrees, ' for minutes and ' for seconds.The common abbreviations of the directions:. S: South. W: West. E: East. N: NorthYou can also get the lat long and the DMS values by clicking on the map.World Geodetic System WGS84 standard is used on this latitude and longitude to DMS converter.

Jan 05, 2015 This Video shows how to use Excel to convert Decimal Degrees into Degree Minute Seconds of Longitude and Latitude. The screencast shows how to use the Text to Column tool to separate out the. How to Convert Degrees, Minutes, Seconds to Decimal Degrees in Excel. If you want to be able to copy the DMS answer directly out to a web application or to a word d ocument you can add a column to combine the separate cells and add in the text portions. That formula is: = CONCATENATE( C2,”°”,D2,”‘ “,E2,””””). Note the extra “ in the formula. Excel requires this to know that you want to add the quote as text.

Share this location About DMS to Decimal DegreesYou can convert degrees, minutes, seconds for both latitude and longitude to decimal degrees.Simply enter the DMS values for lat or both lat and long, than press the convert button. The decimal degrees coordinates will be calculated and displayed below the form.
How to Convert Degrees Minutes Seconds to Decimal DegreesFirst of all let's take a look at the symbols:°: degree': minute': second1 minute is equal to 60 seconds.1 degree is equal to 1 hour, that is equal to 60 minutes or 3600 seconds.To calculate decimal degrees, we use the DMS to decimal degree formula below:Decimal Degrees = degrees + (minutes/60) + (seconds/3600)DD = d + (min/60) + (sec/3600)Wonder to learn how to type a degree symbol? Ruben 2019-04-08 17:20:52Hello everyone!!! I'm hoping you can help me convert this into a recognizable GPS coordinate. I have a data logger that is giving me the following Latitude 23617394 and Longitude -45043232 when I export the file. If I punch these into a GPS coordinates website, it takes me to the middle of the ocean so they are not correct.I was told by the data logger vendor that I need to convert these numbers in order to convert the correct GPS coordinates.
Well, what is the formula I need to use to accomplish this?The final GPS coordinates I would end up with should be close to, - which is NJMP in NJ.How do I accomplish this?Thanks, Ruben.

Stephen 2018-02-13 01:30:57I am wondering if anyone can help me out. I dive shipwrecks so being as precise as possible is a must as 100 feet away underwater means the difference of getting on a wreck or not.I found an old source document that lists many wreck locations.
However there is no info about how these coordinates were obtained. For example, the source document lists442605N, 0633343W as the location for a particular shipwreck.I have already been on this wreck and have the location asN44 26.133, W63 33,482I am wondering if anyone can tell me how to convert the source document locations?I can provide more examples if required.If you can email me at [email protected] I would certainly appreciate it.
