astronomical observation

When recording star positions (such as right ascension and declination), the degree, minute, and second format must be used.

Engineering Surveying

In architecture and road design, angle annotations may involve degrees, minutes and seconds, and must match the software input format.

Coordinate system conversion

Convert latitude and longitude in degrees, minutes and seconds format to other coordinate systems such as UTM, MGRS.

History

Automatically save conversion records for easy review or export.

Degrees Minutes Seconds Converter Function

bidirectional conversion

Decimal degrees → degrees minutes seconds

Converts an angle in decimal form (such as 36.5°) to degrees minutes and seconds format (such as 36°30'0").

degrees minutes seconds → decimal degrees

Converts degrees minutes and seconds format (such as 120°15'30") to decimal fraction (such as 120.2583°).

Batch processing

Supports simultaneous conversion of multiple angle values, suitable for processing large amounts of geographical coordinate data (such as GPS track points, map markers, etc.).

Format check

Automatically detect whether the input format is legal (such as whether minutes/seconds exceed 60) to avoid invalid conversions.

unit extension

Some advanced tools support conversion between units such as radians and gradients and degrees, minutes and seconds.

Note: The seconds can be omitted (for example, 120°30' means 120°30'0"), but the minutes and seconds cannot exceed 60.

Decimal degrees (DD):

Format example: 120.5042 (the number of digits after the decimal point determines the accuracy, such as 4 digits ≈ second-level accuracy).
