decimal degrees

[map projections] Values of latitude and longitude expressed in decimal format rather than in degrees, minutes, and seconds. The decimal degree calculation is dd + mm / 60 + ss / 3600, where dd is the number of whole degrees, mm is the number of minutes, and ss is the number of seconds.
