Dumb latitude/longitude question

: 8bit

Sorry for the probable dumb post, but I used my Vista for marking a hunting
spot. The location reads"

N41 16.796'
W80 24.845"

How does this convert to Terra Server which uses coordinates like this:

N41° 16' 44.1"


What's the conversion Method? thanks
Scott

There are 60 seconds in a minute, so 0.796" =3D 0.796 * 60 =3D 47.76"
Therefore the given latitude is N41 deg 16' 47.76"
And the longitude is similarly W80 deg 24' 50.7"

be advised though if you do it manually that one second is not the
same distance at 45 degrees latitude as it is at the equator..

the further north you go.. the closer together the longitude lines
are .. until the actually all converge at the North Pole.

the trickier thing is trying to mark on a paper map... what the GPS
lat long is... not an easy task... some folks use UTM... instead

here's how to actually measure distance between two lat/longs
