Earth location points are given in Degrees Longitude and Degrees Latitude

Traditionally they are expressed in Degrees, minutes, seconds,

1 degree = 60 minutes

Conversion Example:

15 Degrees 25 minutes = 15 + 25/60 degrees

= 15.4167 degrees (decimal)

15 degrees 25 minutes 10 seconds = 15 + 25/60 + 10/3600 degrees

= 15.4194 degrees (decimal)
