+HHL Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Is there a way to convert from 46.123456 to 096.33.222 and vice versa? Is that N 46.123456 and W 096.33.222? Pardon my ingnorance. But you want convert a latitude into a longitude? How should that work? Covert with GPS Visualizer (click here). Hans NB: ah I see. You want convert from XX.xxxxxx° to XX° XX.xxxxxx' Edited July 1, 2016 by HHL Quote
Pup Patrol Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Is there a way to convert from 46.123456 to 096.33.222 and vice versa? I, too, am confused. You are asking how to "convert" a latitude into a longitude and vice versa. I don't think that's possible. What prompts this question? B. Quote
+niraD Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 How would you convert from a fraction of an hour to minutes, or vice versa? Degrees, minutes, and seconds are really the same thing as hours, minutes, and seconds. So as an example: 46.123456° = 46° + 0.123456° = 46° + (0.123456 * 60)' = 46° + 7.40736' = 46° + 7' + 0.40736' = 46° + 7' + (0.40736 * 60)" = 46° + 7' + 24.4416" Quote
Pup Patrol Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 NB: ah I see. You want convert from XX.xxxxxx° to XX° XX.xxxxxx' Aha. NGComets, does this help: Help Center → Other → Conversions 3.2. Convert Decimal Coordinates to DDD MM.MMM http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=207 I think that most gps units can be set (re-set) to whatever format you want. B. Quote
