Conversion of Geo Coordinates | Mean Values | Batch Processing | Directions | Highest Solar Altitude | Position
Conversion of a large number of geo coordinates: [degrees, minutes, seconds], [decimal degrees] and [degrees, decimal minutes]. North and East values of the single coordinates are seperated by space or by comma, coordinates by line break.
Example for the coordinate formats:
Degrees, minutes, seconds (dms): N48° 8' 13.999" E11° 34' 32.12"
Decimal degrees (dd): 48.137222, 11.575589
Degrees, decimal minutes (ddm): N48° 8.23332 E11° 34.53533
The input can have up to 2500 characters, which are about 100 coordinates in decimal degrees, somewhat less in the other formats. All coordinates entered must have the same format (dms, dd or dm). Please enter or copy the coordinates into the field below and press the according button to convert them.
Different geo-coordinate formats are required for various purposes. This tool is useful if you have multiple coordinates that need to be converted into a different format. The output overwrites the input. If an error in the input values leads to incorrect output, or if you simply wish to revert to the original input values, you can use the Undo button. The Redo button repeats the action that was just undone. If you select the wrong conversion button, meaning the chosen format does not match the input, the result will be an empty field. This can be quickly corrected using the Undo function.
In simple terms, geo-coordinates represent the angle between a location and the equator, measured from the Earth's center, for latitude, or between the prime meridian and the location's meridian for longitude. Degrees, arcminutes, and arcseconds constitute the traditional method of expressing angles. Digital devices tend to use decimal degrees because they are easier to input. Degrees and decimal minutes, a hybrid of the other two formats, are also used in many applications.
