Latitude and Longitude Converter

A latitude and longitude converter is a tool that helps you translate geographical coordinates from one format to another.

Whether you're a traveler, developer, geographer, or surveyor, converting between coordinate formats like decimal degrees (DD) and degrees, minutes, seconds (DMS) is a crucial task. Our Latitude Longitude Converter helps you effortlessly switch between these formats, locate addresses, and even convert map coordinates to lat long.

Common Conversions

• Decimal degrees (DD) to Degrees, Minutes, Seconds (DMS)
• DMS to decimal degrees
• Latitude and longitude to address
• X Y map coordinates to latitude and longitude

This is essential for GPS tracking, GIS (Geographic Information Systems), mapping applications, and even real estate or delivery logistics.

Convert Decimal Degrees to Degrees Minutes Seconds (DMS)

GPS devices and apps often use decimal degrees, but traditional navigation formats use degrees, minutes, seconds. For example:

Decimal Degrees

40.748817, -73.985428

DMS Format

40° 44' 55.74" N, 73° 59' 7.54" W

With our tool, you can easily convert decimal degrees to degrees minutes seconds in one click. This is especially helpful if you're referencing traditional maps, aviation coordinates, or nautical charts.

Convert Latitude and Longitude to Decimal Degrees

If you're working with old maps or have GPS data in DMS format, you'll need to convert latitude and longitude to decimal degrees to use it in modern tools like Google Maps, GPS systems, or coding applications. Our converter ensures this transformation is both quick and accurate.

Convert Latitude and Longitude to Address (Reverse Geocoding)

Ever wondered what place a certain GPS coordinate points to? Our tool can also convert latitude and longitude to address using reverse geocoding. This is ideal for:

• Finding the address of a GPS location
• Pinpointing delivery or pickup locations

• Verifying address data from field reports
• Location-based research

Simply input your lat/long values and get the complete postal address instantly.

Convert X Y Coordinates to Lat Long

Many maps or GIS platforms use projected coordinate systems (like UTM or other cartesian systems), which show locations as X and Y values. With our converter, you can easily convert X Y coordinates to lat long, allowing better integration with GPS systems, Google Maps, and other location-based services.

This is particularly useful for:

Surveyors and Engineers

Geographic Data Scientists

CAD/GIS Software Users

Frequently Asked Questions

To convert decimal degrees to DMS:

1. Multiply the decimal part by 60 to get minutes
2. Multiply the decimal of the minutes by 60 to get seconds

Or simply use our coordinate converter to do it instantly and accurately without manual calculations.

Yes! Using reverse geocoding, you can convert latitude and longitude to address. Our tool makes it easy to find the physical address of any set of coordinates.

DMS stands for Degrees, Minutes, Seconds, a traditional format used in navigation. Decimal degrees (DD) is a modern format used in most GPS and mapping applications. Both represent the same location but in different formats.

Yes. Our converter supports transforming cartesian map coordinates to geographic ones. This means you can convert X Y coordinates to lat long, which is essential for GIS, CAD, and mapping tools.

Absolutely! Our GPS coordinates converter is 100% free to use, user-friendly, and mobile-optimized. You can convert any coordinate format without limits or registrations.
