I see posts on - line leading to sites that will convert this for you...
As pointed out here (http://geography.about.com/library/howto/htdegrees.htm), it really isn't hard...
Here's How:
Convert 121.135 Decimal Degrees to degrees, minutes, seconds...
1. The whole units of degrees will remain the same (i.e. in 121.135° longitude, start with 121°).
2. Multiply the decimal by 60 (i.e. .135 * 60 = 8.1). The whole number becomes the minutes (8').
3. Take the remaining decimal and multiply by 60. (i.e. .1 * 60 = 6). The resulting number becomes the seconds (6"). Seconds can remain as a decimal.
Take your three sets of numbers and put them together, using the symbols for degrees (°), minutes (‘), and seconds (")...
The answer is: 121°8'6" longitude...
Use your mind...
