Decimal degrees to DMS

Turn decimal GPS coordinates into degrees, minutes and seconds.

Two formats, the same location

Decimal degrees use one number per axis. DMS splits that number into degrees, minutes and seconds. There are 60 minutes in one degree and 60 seconds in one minute.

For example, latitude 51.5074 converts to 51° 30′ 26.64″ N. Negative latitudes use S; negative longitudes use W. The output rounds seconds to two decimal places.
