User LoginConvert Lat and Long to DMS
Welcome to our online Lat Long to DMS converter. Here, you can make the mentioned conversions easily and in no time. To convert decimal coordinates to degrees minutes seconds (DMS), all you need to do is enter the latitude and longitude values, and press 'Convert' button.
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: North
You 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.

Excellent Tool! I use this site to convert Lat Long positions I get on Google Maps to DMS to enter into my handheld GPS I use for camping. Thank you for maintaining this site. It is very useful!
Thanks it is highly significant . How can i work it in offline
Thank you. This really helped!
Very useful converter. Thanks
Really usefull for Sea Rescue Groups as they tend to use Decimal values.
I have used this website a couple of times when my drone went down. And, always useful for finding fishing spots and places that I need to get back to for photography in a different season. For example, my Sony A77 II grabs a very precise Lat / Long coordinate so I can go back in the Autumn to photograph the color changes on the trees. Thanks!
Why can't we just get the latitude and longitude in DMS instead of having to convert it?
Your Tool Converts 2.9 degrees latitude to 2° 53' 60'' N
But as 60" = 1' it should read 2° 54' 0'' N
hi how do i convert N 51.17971° W 001.44145° to hdd mm mmm format
thanks very much

Very profesional website that i can use with my car camera gps coordinates.
I must say that this map from OpenStreetMap is more accurate than google maps.
I have 26degree NE ,what will be the longitude and latitude
I have these coordinates: Y 14 764.72 X 2 669 029.58
Y 14 854.02 X 2 669 372.16
How do I convert these to DMS?
Y axis means longitude and X axis means latitude
Can you help me to convert 29.17983*E and 23.56970* to Degrees, minutes and seconds(DMS).
THANK U ITS GREAT! BUT HOW THIS COORDINATES CONVERT TO DEGREES, MINUTES & SECONDS?
Hi everybody,
I saw this question repeat without no answer.
How do I convert this coordinates ...
use these code:
if(bitSizeof(lat)+bitSizeof(lon)==35)
divisor = 600.0
else if(bitSizeof(lat)+bitSizeof(lon)==49)
divisor = 60000.0
else if(bitSizeof(lat)+bitSizeof(lon)==55)
divisor = 600000.0
lon = lon / divisor
lat = lat/ divisor
what is the implementation of bitSizeof() method
it is very useful and important!! I really Check it taking GPS location of one area!!
Possible to know mathematical formula to convert decimal degrees to DMS. Your solution is incomplete.
Formula?
Thanks a lot for sharing our website on your page.
Best regards.
Great teaching tool - very quick too. I just linked back to this page from our summary page for The Isle of Wight - visit it at https://theisleofwight.org/iow/ (Thanks, my hope is that it will encourage our readers to visit this online resource)
In regard to Bob’s comment on 8/31/19, simply put a negative sign in front of any decimal for west longitude (e.g. -77.000000 = 77 deg 0 min 0.0 sec W)
Works great but result assumed E when it should have be W.
Do you have a manual method of doing this, using pencil on paper?
How do I convert these please:
Northern extent: 394,302 E & 5,313,288 N
Southern extent: 393,225 E & 5,310,265 N
This is really amazing. Always sharing useful info for us. I have been following you for a long time. Here is a similar article that explains Feel free to visit.

How do I convert this coordinates in to DMS?
Your data needs to be reviewed. Northings & Southings will only have a maximum of two digits to the left of the decimal place. Conversely Eastings & Westings have a maximum of 3 digits to the left of the decimal place
Hi,
Would anyone know how to convert this coordinate into degrees, minutes, seconds, but its actually only the seconds that have stumped me because the gps unit I have only needs 3 numbers with no decimal to enter in the seconds, but these have 4 numbers that come off another gps with a decimal, so if someone can help me with the formula to convert these coordinates that would be appreciated

Thanks Michael
actually you need to find out what % of 60 (remember 60 seconds=1 min, etc) so 33 and 37 are ok but 58.2 would be 58.2/60=970 and 49.32/60=822
Simply shift the decimal place one position to the right
I have these X and Y coordinates but google is failing to plot them. Kindly advice on how I should convert them into DD or DMS so that I can be able to plot them on google earth.

I have double checked with several other sites to validate my own (not web based) implementation. It would seem your converter may be a bit off. I am using 40.585739, -73.975422 which my implementation and several other sites including USGS., FCC, Google Maps etc; should come back as 40° 35' 8.6598" N, 73° 58' 31.5186" W. Your site is reporting 40° 35' 8.6604'' N, 73° 58' 31.5192'' W. Perhaps I missed something, but thought you should have a heads up. Regards
I have GPS/Lat-Long as UTM, E 793627, N 2168202. How to find the location on google map for this lat long? Plz tell how to get?
