<div>Every GPS device allows for output in any of the degree formats.</div>
<div>You can specify decimal degrees, decimal degree minutes or decimal degree minute seconds for output.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you need to convert a point file, csv or excel etc. - you can calculate the decimal degrees with the formulae below.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>decimal degree = degree + minute/60 + decimal second/3600</div>
<div>decimal degree = degree + decimal minute/60 </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Then you can use it in Mapguide however you wish.</div>

These coordinates are in this form 3828.452222 (Degrees Decimal Minutes). I saw that Autocad Map works with coordinates of type 38.23122 (Decimal Degrees). Does MapGuide support only Decimal Degrees or can it support Degrees Decimal Minutes too ?<br>
