      • latDMS

        public static double latDMS​(java.lang.String ns,
                                    int deg,
                                    int min,
                                    double sec)
                             throws LatLongFormatException
        A static method to turn values of degrees, minutes and seconds into a latitude value.
        Parameters:
        ns - "N" or "S". Points south of the equator have negative values of latitude.
        deg - Degrees. Value must not exceed 90.
        min - Minutes - zero or positive, less than 60.
        sec - Seconds - zero or positive real value less than 60.0
        Returns:
        value in the range -90.0 to +90.0
        Throws:
        LatLongFormatException - if the degrees/minutes/seconds values do not correspond to legal latitudes between 0 and 90.0 or if ns is neither "N" nor "S"
      • lonDMS

        public static double lonDMS​(java.lang.String ew,
                                    int deg,
                                    int min,
                                    double sec)
                             throws LatLongFormatException
        A static method to turn values of degrees, minutes and seconds into a longitude value.
        Parameters:
        ew - "E" or "W". Points west of the reference meridian have negative values of longitude.
        deg - Degrees. Value must not exceed 180.
        min - Minutes - zero or positive, less than 60.
        sec - Seconds - zero or positive real value less than 60.0
        Returns:
        value in the range -180.0 to +180.0
        Throws:
        LatLongFormatException - if the degrees/minutes/seconds values do not correspond to legal longitudes between 0 and 180.0 or if ew is neither "E" nor "W"
