Description

Easily convert between Decimal Degrees and Degrees/Minutes/Seconds (Dº M' S") notation. Then, easily view the converted coordinate in the Maps app, or send it to GPS Log (our app for recording your travels). Or copy to the clipboard using the standard iPhone functions. Fuzzy parsing logic allows you to input coordinates in a variety of ways, like N 28° 11' 47", E 86° 49' 40, and S37° 56.679' E145° 10.141'. Most of the formats used by major geocaching web sites are supported. If you have any problems using this software, please contact us by email: support-at-gpslog.com so we can work with you to solve the problem. Issues left as reviews are difficult to address.

  • Good app!!

    Great app to use for getting specific information to the NWS while out storm spotting!! Great for us ham operators when out in the field when accurate info is a necessity. P.S. It's 6 years later and now it doesn't work anymore. No updates to program since 2014!!!!! Doesn't work within the iOS 11 realm. Too bad.

  • Great ap

    It does something extremely useful for converting from GPS decimal readout to latitude and longitude in degrees, minutes, and seconds as they are used on nautical charts. It is a big time saver for me. I gladly paid 99 cents for being able to use it ad-free.

  • Great For A Pilot

    I'm a pilot, and often do aerial photography, surveying, and other ground-based operations where I need custom waypoints, not those already officially published. This app does great work converting when different hardware and software use different lat/long formats. I just wish there was a way to import/export directly to/from the aviation mapping app "ForeFlight" to create a flight track without needing to manually transfer the coordinates.

  • Geocaching just got easier!

    I recently started attempting multi-caches with my girlfriend. This app helps out in a MAJOR way. We were fumbling over my old GPS device, the maps app, and bad guesswork. This app has saved us a lot of time! Love this app so much!!

    Works great for mobile reference and dms conversions without getting out another calculator. The map feature is especially nice when talking to clients off the cuff. I use it daily.

  • Need the reverse

    Does what it says in the description, but having the ability to perform a conversion from DD to DMS would be a nice addition.

  • Awsome

    Here's an update to my earlier review. IT'S FIXED! Thanks for listening! 8^) Previous review: Seems to work once you figure out the format requirements. It's pretty lame to require the direction abreviations, N, S, E, W to be input in upper case only! Once you figure that out, it seems fine. (Escecially funny since they brag about their "fuzzy parsing logic". 8^) Thanks for making it free and with a little work could be a nice clean, mean app.

  • Very useful.

    This is exactly what I needed. Some of my co workers use DMS and some use DD. This Ap is a very simple tool to quickly convert between the two. The only thing that would improve it would be the addition of more formats.
