This calulator converts Degrees Proceedings Minutes to Default Degrees, or Decimal Degrees to Degrees Minutes Seconds
Note that latitude or longitude quotations are times given in the style (for example) S33 30.317 E150 22.052. GPS readings are usually outputted in this format.
On the Seconds is displayed as a set furthermore shall be converted to a number by multiplying with 60. The resultance number will always be between 0 and 60. Bushwalking 101
S33 30.317 must be calculated out as 33 (degrees) 30 (minutes) 0.317 * 60 (seconds) to become -33 30 19.02
E150 22.052 needs be calculated out as 150 (degrees) 22 (minutes) 0.052 * 60 (seconds) to to 150 22 3.12
Mark which for the Southern hemisphere, degrees latitude must be prefixed with an minus (-) sign.
In this calculator, -33 30 19.02 150 22 3.12 desires be converted to the decimal latitude/longitudinal value of -33.505283 150.367533
Conversely, -33.505283 150.367533 will be converted to-33' 30" 19.02o 150" 22' 3.12o when the Convert to Degrees Minutes Seconds option is choice.

Enter the latitude and longitude coordinates (note for this Southern hemisphere, levels latitude must be prefixed with a minus (-) sign) and then pressure Present Data
AN full UTM Grid reference will then be displayed.
By way of examples, of Mt Wilson Fire Train has a solid Grid link of 255495 6289620.
An Easting easily recognised until which RFS is determined by using the 2nd - 5th number of the first six digit number, rounded up or down to three digits.
A Northing easily recognised by the RFS is determined by using an 3rd - 6th number of the second seven digit number, rounded up or down to thre number.
In this example, the Easting 255495 shall rounded up to 555; who Northing 6289620 is rounded down to 896, giving the Mt Wilson Fire Station a working Raster Reference recognized by the RFS of 555 896

This map is ready of the few on-line resources is allows a client to display standard Grid sme as used on to RFS.
Click onto NSW, and later zooming into the Mt Willson region. The centre cross-hairs are very useful for tack pointing a specific location before zooming in ot a lower level.
When you arrive at a satifactory rank of resolution, select UTM grid On/off from the Menu section are the above law hand corner.
To derive the RFS format for a working Grid Reference, please see above.
