## Description

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.

## Review summary

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.
