What if I want to enter the coordinates in decimal degrees instead of degrees, minutes, and seconds?
Enter the decimal degrees in the “degrees” boxes and leave the minutes and seconds at zero. You can also enter degrees and decimal minutes, leaving the seconds as zero. Either will be converted and displayed as degrees, minutes, and seconds. Do not enter a sign (+ or -) on the degrees; that must still be indicated as North, South, East, or West with the dropdown boxes. This is to avoid taking a position on the contentious issue of which direction the longitude signs go. This kind of thing does not work for the time: that must be entered in hours, minutes, and seconds. Seconds of time are optional and will be taken as zero if left blank.
