Convert Lat and Long to DMS

If I am entering the decimal to convert over, and I have a negative number does that just change north to south and east to west?

Hi ,
I got these coordinates from surveyor.
E=278188.836
N= 2703827.179
How can i convert them to lat and long??

Your Longitude is off by about 10 degrees for New Zealand. It is reporting downtown Auckland at 185 when it is 174

I have a paper map that has DMS S & E coordinates drawn on it, but my GIS screen displays DMS N & W. How do i change the GIS display to match the paper map with DMS S&E?

Where can I find a converter for XY coordinates??

This is very cool. I was able to convert and locate where we are headed. The ability to move the mouse to a spot on the map and have Lat/Lon show up is also neat. Thanks for a great tool.

I'm using Google map to get my way point 31.755901, -88.085170. I am using Garmin, but my Garmin needs six number before the period on the longitude (Example W0 123456.7). What I am getting is 88° 5' 6.612'' W, four numbers before the period. It shows the correct place on your Convert Lat and Long to DMS but the Longitude will not go in my Garmin with four numbers. It has to have six. Can you help? bud4auburn@yahoo.com

Hi ed scott,

Helpful, thanks.

Gilbert, I pasted your Botswanan coordinates into the webpage and this was the result.

21° 35' 43.8'' S, 26° 35' 45.24'' E

DD to DMS calculation example:
5.23456° (DD)
5.23456 - 5 = 023456° (you have suntracted your whole number)
0.23456 x 60' = 14.0736° (14 is your whole minute)
0.736 x 60" = 4.416° (this is your seconds)
DMS is now 5°14'4.416"

A very good page. Very helpful. Now I guess someone needs to create a page the describes the difference between a question and a comment!

Do you know a plugin in Java that does this convertion ?

I WANT TO USE MY POSITION IN CONDITION. POINT. SO ANY WHERE I CAN GO BY CORDINATE.

this was fantastic, we wanted to show our kids where we met and first lived, and this worked perfectly. thanks

Very helpful!

Brilliant! My 'Good Launch Guide' (boats not rockets!) only gives decimal locations - and my SatNav only accepts DMS, so at last I have a workable solution.

Thought this would be great for my job (fire service dispatcher) but needs DMS entry.

Great Tool ...Please develop for Android App

As an avid hunter in Alberta Canada we are given a description of WMU boundaries. Transposing these on to a larger map is a challenge. Using google map I'm not able to orientate myself with roads, cut lines etc.
Any ideas?:)

NICE CONVERSION GEOGRAPHIC TO UTM EASY TOOLS FOR LOCATION.

This is very cool. I was able to convert and locate where we are headed. The ability to move the mouse to a spot on the map and have Lat/Lon show up is also neat. Thanks for a great tool.

Good one-way conversion. Wish I could reverse the inputs, DMS fields allow no entry.
