Latitude and Longitude Conversion

Calvin McDaniel

Is it possible when using the Destination Component to reverse the Latitude/Longitude coordinates from decimal degrees (DD) to degrees, minutes, seconds (DMS)

I see that when you input the decimal degrees it shows the DMS below it. I'd like to be able to input the degrees, minutes, seconds.

Basically, reverse the input values shown below.

    Not possible right now, moving to feature requests.

    Hi Calvin,

    From where are the coordinates you're using originating? Often, the reporting source can display geographic positions in both d.ddd as well as dms. Check the user display preferences.

    In the meantime..., most scientific calculators can handle flipping back and forth pretty easily.  Or you can roll your own with your favorite spreadsheet software; e.g. LibreOffice Calc. There's quite a few free options for online tools too, e.g., https://geodesy.noaa.gov/NCAT/

    d.ddd to d m s

     

    dms to d.ddd
