Lat/Long conversions

[Dr. Neil Snow]

Some TAXACOMERS may be unaware of a website that enables one to
interconvert Lat.-Long. coordinates from degrees/minutes/seconds to
decimal degrees and vice versa.

A colleague in the Dept. of Geography here tells me decimal degrees are
generally prefered by those engaged in remote sensing, and suspects
decimal degrees will be used increasingly in the future, especially as
regards GIS applications.
