Converting Latitude-Longitude Notations to Themselves
Some tables and internet sites return latitude and longitude in the notations below, and there might be a need to convert from one to the other, here’s how. There’re 60 minutes in a degree, and 60 seconds in a minute, therefore 60 is the mulipiler or divisor, to convert any notations.
Convert DD.DDDD to DD.MM.SS
A position in whole degrees and a fractional part of degrees, conversion of it to degrees, minutes and seconds
Example using a Latitude DD.DDDD=48.5020N
Multiply the FRACTIONAL part by 60 to get MINUTES and FRACTIONAL MINUTES: .5020 x 60=30.12
Next, multiply the FRACTIONAL MINUTES by 60 obtains the SECONDS: .12 x 60=7.2″
Therefore: 48.5020= 48 30′ 7.2″ DD MM SS
Do the same for a Longitude.
Convert DD.MM.SS to DD.DDD
A position in degrees, minutes, seconds, conversion of it to degrees and fractions of a degree.
Example using a Latitude DD MM SS=48 30′ 7.2″N
Divide the SECONDS by 60, to get DECIMAL SECONDS: 7.2 / 60=.12
Next, divide the WHOLE MINUTES and DECIMAL SECONDS by 60 obtains the fractional part of degrees: 30.12 / 60=0.5020
Therefore: 48 30′ 7.2″= 48.5020 DD.DDDD
Do the same for a Longitude.
