How It Works

Decimal to DMS Conversion

Enter Decimal Degrees like 40.7128, -74.0060. The converter checks latitude and longitude ranges. Latitude runs from negative 90 to positive 90. Longitude runs from negative 180 to positive 180. It then formats Degrees Minutes Seconds with N or S and E or W. Seconds show one decimal place. Decimal results show six places.

DMS to Decimal Conversion

Enter Degrees Minutes Seconds with the degree symbol and direction letters. The converter reads degrees, minutes, and seconds. It then calculates Decimal Degrees. You will see six decimal places for both values. Example 40°42'46.8"N 74°00'21.6"W becomes 40.713000, -74.006000.
