In today's lesson, we will learn together how to calculate and convert geographic coordinates from degrees, minutes and seconds to geographic coordinates in decimal degrees. We will also convert geographic coordinates in decimal degrees to geographic coordinates in degrees, minutes and seconds again, which is important information that you will need sometimes during surveying work to determine locations on some surveying programs and devices. The geographic coordinate system is a three-dimensional 3D system where the location of any point is determined by specifying three values: the first dimension is the degree of latitude, the second dimension is the degree of longitude, and the third dimension is the value of the point level or the point height (Height) from the ellipsoid or the reference surface used.
