Converting Lat/Long to Lat/Long

  • Classic problem of radix conversion
    • O'Reilly & Associates at 38.41061° N 122.84093° W
      • 38° + ( .41601 x 60 )' = 38° 24.9606'
      • 38° 24' + ( .9606 x 60 ) = 38° 24' 57.636"
    • 38° 24' 57.636" N
      • 38 + (24 / 60) + (57.636 / 3600) = 38.41061°
  • Don't forget: Longitudes west of the Prime Meridian and latitudes south of the Equator are often represented by negative values!
