I'm having issues with my Lat and Long being rejected by the NGS conversion software.
Does anybody have any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
I am entering in DMS as shown, which is how it arrives in an OPUS-RS report
"degrees, minutes, seconds and decimals (xx xx xx.xxxx)"
XX XX XX.XXXX
XXX XX XX.XXXX

I am using this calculator, but have not had any luck

Inputting as described, I get an error message, but convert to decimal degrees and inputting this:
I rec'd this:

Thank you for your help!!!!!
You are not the only one. Every time I use that I have to do the example and change the numbers. The first time I enter something it always seems to be rejected. The difference in my area is almost too small to mess with most of the time, but at least I say that I did it.
I will say this, very happy to have the conversion tool though. For the longest time I could find no conversion between NAVD and IGLD. Finally found a single webpage published though the Detroit army corps and ran with that info for years until I found this tool.
