About DMS to Decimal Degrees. You 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. Also the map will be centered to the DMS coordinates. How to Convert Degrees Minutes Seconds to Decimal Degrees. 1 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)
Degrees, Minutes, Seconds to Decimal Degrees calculator and vice-versa. Overwrite the default numbers in the blue boxes below with the latitude or longitude of your location. Input positive numbers only (e.g. 0 to 360 deg). The calculation equation is simply: Decimal degrees = whole number of degrees, plus minutes divided by 60, plus seconds divided by 3600. Reverse process: Input decimal degrees and the result is given in deg/min/sec format. If you have a GPS receiver the display may be Longitude 117 degrees and 29.842 minutes. In this case use the first two blue boxes above and put figure 0 (i.e. zero) in the seconds box.
