Conversion of Geo Coordinates

For geocaching and other uses. The common formats für geo coordinates are (degrees°, minutes', seconds"), (decimal degrees) and (degrees, decimal minutes). Different GPS tools deliver different formats, which can be converted here. Please insert a complete and correct expression (including degrees) in one field and click Calculate. No responsibility is taken for the correctness of the calculations.

Degrees, Minutes, seconds	Decimal Degrees	Degrees, Decimal Minutes
e.g. N52° 31' 14.941" E13° 24' 34.020"	e.g. 52.520817 13.40945	e.g. N52° 31.249 E13° 24.567

Distance between two points

Please insert both points in decimal degrees. The calculation is an estimation, which gives quite good results up to a few hundred kilometer. It can not be exact, because the earth isn't a perfect sphere.

Point 1: Point 2:

Distance between the two points: meters

The calculation works as follows: one degree latitude (North/South) in general as well as one degree longitude (East/West) on the equator equals approximately 111.2 kilometers. The distance of the latitude can be converted directly, the distance of the longitude has to be multiplied with the cosine of the average of the latitude values. Both results then are inserted into the Pythagorean theorem. Use this site to convert the distance into other units.
