How can I enter latitude and longitude in Google Maps

Question

Hi  I m trying to enter the below longitude and latitude into Google Maps but having a few issues with the format    Lat  46   23S  Lon  115   22E  I tried entering it into Google Maps but so far  no luck  It was taken from an old diary so I think I may need to change the format somehow   Can anyone help

It s actually fairly easy  just enter it as a latitude longitude pair  ie 46 38S 115 36E  which is in the middle of the ocean   You ll want to convert it to decimal though  divide the  minutes portion by 60 and add it to the degrees  I ve done that with your example

for higher precision  this format    45 11 735N 004 34 281E  and this  45 23 623  5 38 77

You don t need to convert to decimal  you can also enter 46 23S  115 22E  You can add seconds after the minutes  also separated by a space

First is latitude  second longitude  Different than many constructors in mapbox   Here are examples of formats that work    Degrees  minutes  and seconds  DMS   41  24 12 2 N 2  10 26 5 E Degrees and decimal minutes  DMM   41 24 2028  2 10 4418 Decimal degrees  DD   41 40338  2 17403   Tips for formatting your coordinates   Use the degree symbol instead of    d     Use periods as decimals  not commas    Incorrect  41 40338  2 17403  Correct  41 40338  2 17403   List your latitude coordinates before longitude coordinates  Check that the first number in your latitude coordinate is between -90 and 90 and the first number in your longitude coordinate is between -180 and 180    https   support google com maps answer 18539
