I recently used this for an app I'm working on. In case you're thick like me, here's how you convert from the deg min sec format to a decimal format: deg + minutes/60 + seconds/3600 Then make your answer negative if you started with a South or West lat/lon. So, for example, if you had 53 08 50N, that would be: 53 + 08/60 + 50/3600 =~ 53.1472222
