About the Coordinates Converter

Coordinates are written four different ways and every tool wants a different one. A deed says 23°48'37"N, a GPS shows 23 48.618, a mapping API wants 23.8103, and a surveyor works in UTM. Converting by hand means dividing by 60 twice and keeping track of which hemisphere you are in.

Paste a list — one pair per line, in any of those forms, with the hemisphere before or after and any mix of degree symbols, primes and plain spaces — and get them all in the format you need: decimal degrees, degrees with decimal minutes, degrees-minutes-seconds, or a UTM grid reference on WGS 84 with the Norway and Svalbard zone exceptions applied. A pair written longitude-first is put the right way round, values outside the valid range are reported rather than accepted, and the first coordinate is shown in every format at once with links to open it in Google Maps, OpenStreetMap or Bing.

Frequently asked questions

Degrees plus minutes divided by 60 plus seconds divided by 3600, made negative for south or west. So 23°48'37"N is 23 + 48/60 + 37/3600 = 23.8103.
