You can convert DMS Latitude and Longitude fields into Decimal Degrees using Excel. You can then map the coordinates with Maptitude mapping software. When you enter coordinates in Maptitude, you may find that your data is in Degrees-Minutes-Seconds (DMS) format, which needs to be converted to...
To simplify some mathematical calculations, you may want to express angular measurements in degrees and decimal fractions of degrees. This article contains a sample custom function you can use to convert a degree value stored in decimal format, to DMS stored in text format, and a sample function...

Here is how to create a function in MySQL to convert Decimal Degrees to Degree-Minute-Second: DELIMITER $ CREATE FUNCTION `f_convertDDtoDMS`( dd DECIMAL(10,7), is_longitude BOOL) RETURNS VARCHAR(14) CHARSET utf8 BEGIN /* Description: MySQL function to convert decimal degrees to Degree-Min...
However, the coordinates must be in decimal format for it to work. Here’s what you’ll need to do if the lat/long coordinates on your data were in DMS (degrees, minutes, seconds) format. 1. In this example, the Latitude is written on column B, while the Longitude is in col...
As an example, GPS data is most often collected in units of decimal degrees or lat/long, which is a geographic coordinate system. Open this directory. Most frequently, GPS data is collected on the WGS 1984 datum, so open the World folder, and select WGS_1984.prj....
Round your answer to two decimal places. Find A^2 + 4 A for A = [-0.2 -0.4 0.5 0.6 0.8 -0.2 0.3 0.8 -0.9]. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Convert the DMS to decimal form, Round off the to four decimal places. -25 degrees 14' 30" Convert the...

Converts coordinates in degrees, minutes, seconds into decimal degreesMark Robertson
ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro cannot read data in degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS), and therefore this data must be converted into decimal degrees (DD) before importing. The steps below are instructions for formatting XY data, in decimal degrees, using Microsoft Excel, and converting these data into a ...
