Gps Standards For Reading
Hello, why are there 3 ways to read GPS coordinates?
Which of the 3 is the most common or standard? Is one type more common for public use while the others are more used in the military , aviation, commerce or something like that? Thanks! 
3 that I know of … 
Thanks Bunny R!
the 2 most common ways are decimal degrees and degrees,minutes,seconds.
both are used fairly commonly.
degrees minutes seconds might look like this 64° 31′ 34.6799″
decimal degrees would be 64.5363°
to convert between them, remember that 1 degree ( ° ) = 60 minutes and one minute ( ‘ ) = 60 seconds ( ” ). So one degree = 3600 seconds.
i would say that the decimal degrees are used more nowadays. they are all interchangeable.
