How you get Degree minute and seconds from lat/lng

jamie_pattison

I am getting lat/LNG from Google's map API. How can I get the Degree, minute and seconds value? Do I convert lat/LNG or is there a way to get this data from Google API? The format I'm looking to get is 1° 23' 45" W 67° 89' 10" N Maybe known as GPS coordinates. Want examples would be great.

You can get degrees,minutes and second from latlong easily like
void Run(double latitude, double longitude)
   {
       int latSeconds = (int)Math.Round(latitude * 3600);
       int latDegrees = latSeconds / 3600;
       latSeconds = Math.Abs(latSeconds % 3600);
       int latMinutes = latSeconds / 60;
       latSeconds %= 60;

       int longSeconds = (int)Math.Round(longitude * 3600);
       int longDegrees = longSeconds / 3600;
       longSeconds = Math.Abs(longSeconds % 3600);
       int longMinutes = longSeconds / 60;
       longSeconds %= 60;

       Console.WriteLine("{0}° {1}' {2}\" {3}, {4}° {5}' {6}\" {7}",
           Math.Abs(latDegrees),
           latMinutes,
           latSeconds,
           latDegrees >= 0 ? "N" : "S",
           Math.Abs(longDegrees),
           longMinutes,
           longSeconds,
           longDegrees >= 0 ? "E" : "W");
   }
The output will be
Run(-15.14131211, 56.345678)

o/p=15° 8' 29" S, 56° 20' 44" W
