Summary
Convert geographic coordinates between Decimal Degrees (DD), Degrees-Minutes-Seconds (DMS), and Degrees Decimal Minutes (DDM) formats — with a Google Maps link.
How it works
- Enter latitude and longitude in Decimal Degrees (e.g. 40.7128, -74.0060).
- The tool converts each value using the formula: degrees = floor(|dd|), minutes = floor((|dd| - degrees) * 60), seconds = ((|dd| - degrees) * 60 - minutes) * 60.
- Negative latitude becomes S (South); negative longitude becomes W (West).
- DDM format keeps degrees whole and expresses the remainder as decimal minutes.
- Switch to DMS-to-DD mode to go in reverse.
- Click the Google Maps link to open the coordinates on the map.
Use cases
- Convert GPS coordinates for navigation or mapping software.
- Translate survey data from DD to DMS for official documents.
- Verify coordinate formats before entering them into GIS systems.
- Share a precise Google Maps link for any lat/lng pair.
- Cross-check coordinates from astronomy, drone, or hiking apps.
