Convert Location Coordinates

Features & Capabilities

Easily convert between Decimal Degrees and Degrees/Minutes/Seconds (Dº M' S") notation.

Then, easily view the converted coordinate in the Maps app, or send it to GPS Log (our app for recording your travels). Or copy to the clipboard using the standard iPhone functions.

Fuzzy parsing logic allows you to input coordinates in a variety of ways, like N 28° 11' 47", E 86° 49' 40, and S37° 56.679' E145° 10.141'. Most of the formats used by major geocaching web sites are supported.

If you have any problems using this software, please contact us by email: support-at-gpslog.com so we can work with you to solve the problem. Issues left as reviews are difficult to address.

User Reviews

Users praise the app for quickly converting GPS coordinates between formats and for field usefulness (storm chasing, aviation, geocaching). It’s mobile, ad-free, and reduces calculator reliance. Recurrent downsides are usability hurdles due to strict input formatting and small text, plus compatibility/updates concerns on newer iOS versions. Feature requests include import/export to other apps (e.g., ForeFlight) and more coordinate formats.

Pros

Efficiently converts coordinates between formats (DD, DM, DMS), saving time.
Valuable for fieldwork and activities needing precise coordinates (storm spotting, ham radio, aviation, geocaching).
Mobile-friendly reference that reduces reliance on a separate calculator; includes a map feature for client discussions.
Ad-free experience and affordable.
Simple, focused tool for quick coordinate conversions.

Cons

Requires very precise input formatting and symbols, including uppercase direction letters, which makes it hard to use and prone to errors; small font can hinder readability.
Lack of updates and compatibility issues with newer iOS versions (past reports of not working on iOS 11 and beyond).
Missing features or formats some users want, such as import/export to ForeFlight and support for additional coordinate formats.

Recent reviews

This app is very hard to use in the airplane as it requires a precise spacing format with correct symbols. There are much easier formats on Google where they make the entry process easier. The manufacturer needs to update this. Very small font adds to the difficulty.

Great app to use for getting specific information to the NWS while out storm spotting!! Great for us ham operators when out in the field when accurate info is a necessity. P.S. It's 6 years later and now it doesn't work anymore. No updates to program since 2014!!!!! Doesn't work within the iOS 11 realm. Too bad.

It does something extremely useful for converting from GPS decimal readout to latitude and longitude in degrees, minutes, and seconds as they are used on nautical charts. It is a big time saver for me. I gladly paid 99 cents for being able to use it ad-free.
