title: long lat format for someone in south east asia
body: <p>I was trying to convert something like lat long but it seems that I cannot get the exact location for this one. </p>
  
  <p>LONG = 12035.1025    not yet converted</p>
  
  <p>LAT  = 1427.2789     not yet converted</p>
  
  <p>my first computation is like this</p>
  
  <p>I just divided it to 1000.</p>
  
  <pre><code>LONG = 120.351025
  LAT  = 14.272789
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it game the wrong answer.</p>
  
  <p>Second move I did was like this.</p>
  
  <pre><code>LONG = 120.351025
  DEG  = 120
  MIN  = .35 /60 = .005833
  SEC  = 1025 / 3600 = .284722
  LONGITUDE = 120.290555
  
  LAT = 14.272789
  DEG  = 14
  MIN  = .27 /60 = .0045
  SEC  = 2789 / 3600 = .774722
  LONGITUDE = 14.779222
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this however gave me a wrong location.</p>
  
  <p>the location i was aiming for using the lat long above which is the </p>
  
  <pre><code>LONG = 12035.1025
  LAT  = 1427.2789
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is <strong>Santa Cruz  Metro Manila</strong> which is more or less closer to this LONG LAT but i have tried everything over the net to convert it. The closest LONG LAT im basing my conversion is</p>
  
  <pre><code>LONG = 120.983293   converted already
  LAT  = 14.626308    converted already
  </code></pre>
