Additional Information
"DMS 1" & "DMS 2" format produce output as per design. The design does not include the symbols (for degree, minute second). This format was as requested. This is not to say it could not be improved, though that would mean an enhancement request (instead of this bug fix request). WORKAROUND It is already possible to achieve what's asked by doing the following (ArcGIS Pro code below) - add a new text field (named "pretty_dms" for now) to the data - run CalculateField, with the following parameter values - field Name : pretty_dms - expression type: python - expression: pretty(!DMSLatLon!) - in the code Block paste the code below def pretty(v): v = v.split(" ") return v[0] + "\u00b0 " +\ v[1] + "\u2032 " +\ v[2][:-1] + "\u2033" + v[2][-1:] + " " +\ v[3] + "\u00b0 " +\ v[4] + "\u2032 " +\ v[5][:-1] + "\u2033" + v[5][-1:]Workaround
