How to convert Northing & Eastings to Long Lat (in decimals)

Hi all,

I have a long list of coordinates (in Northing & Eastings) that I need to convert them into Long Lat (in decimals).

Is there a way to do it using MATLAB instead manually?

Need it URGENTLY!

Thanks heaps

Dear Eevee,

This matlab example (with the function dms2degrees) could probably help you on your way:

clc;clear all;close all;

% example (DMS=degrees, minutes, seconds)
dms = [40  42 46.021;
      74   0 21.388;];
format long g
angleInDegrees = dms2degrees(dms);
Latitude_N      =   angleInDegrees(1);
Longitude_E     =   angleInDegrees(2);

You can perform a quick result check i.e. here.

Good luck! Christiaan
