convert dd°mm'ss.ss' to dd°ddddd

the default geodesic system for mappoint 2002 is dd°ddddd - wgs84
how to make it work in dd°mm'ss.ss ??
thanks

Hi,

degree + minute / 60 + seconds / 3600

Thank you very much Wilfried for the formula :)


Now I've got another problem... I'm not sure about the format of coordinates that I need to convert to dd°ddddd :

the coordinate that I have is :

latitude = 4641.67731N
longitude = 00201.77373E

Does anyone know what is this format ?
To me, I would say :

Latitude: degrees=46 minutes=41 but seconds cannot be 67.731??
Longitude: degrees=02 minutes=01 but secondes cannot be 77.373?


Thank you

Hi,

This looks NMEA 183 format. However then it should be with a comma ',' just before the N or E. it should be:

latitude: ddmm.ffff
longitude: dddmm.ffff

where ffff the minute fractions are. I mean minute is just a float, like this:
5010.1234
is degree 50 latitude
minute: 10.1234

Thanks for your help :)

So is the formula the same for conversion ? What can I affect to seconds ?

Oupss... I've just understood :)

formula to convert dd°mmfffff' to dd.dddddd° is the following:
degrees + minutes/60

:)
