Here's how you do it: http://www.ehow.com/how_2363249_form-dec...-form.html
Thanks. Oh yeah duh that would make sense. I mean if you take 310. 125 degrees and make 310 your degrees and multiply the 125 by 60 for the minutes and then multiply that answer times sixty you get the seconds. Only makes sense to take DMS and divde by 60. Duh..the opposite. Sometimes I have blonde moments. I also found an engine that would do it for me...too bad it's not available on a test.
