I did some of this for python.<br>
What langauge will you use?<br>
<br>
Please report if you find some useful libraries.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>

Long time ago I made a script solving similar problems:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://mateusz.loskot.net/software/gis/pydecimaldegrees/" target="_blank">http://mateusz.loskot.net/software/gis/pydecimaldegrees/</a><br>
<br>
It is very easy to extend it to support all the format<br>
variations you've listed above.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>

Potentially adding to your woes you should take into account that people<br>
mix up axis order. It is a well established traditional fight between<br>
developers, geodesists and the rest of the world. This page [1] sums up<br>
the main issue. If you find a script that dares to deal with this, feel<br>
free to add it as a link to that page.<br>
<br>
