Convert DD - MM.SS To Decimal Degrees Minutes/Seconds Coledata's GPS Distance Calculator (Between 2 Waypoints) Result

The document provides information about calculating distances and bearings between waypoints defined by latitude and longitude coordinates. It includes a table that lists 6 start and destination waypoints, their latitude and longitude values, the nautical miles and kilometers between each waypoint pair, the bearing from the start to destination point, and the cumulative distances in nautical miles, kilometers, and statute miles. It also provides notes on how the great circle formula is used to calculate distances between waypoints based on their latitude and longitude values expressed in radians.

Notes:
1. The distance between two waypoints is calculated using the
2. Distance = acos(sin(lat1)*sin(lat2)+cos(lat1)*cos(lat2)*cos(lo
where all lat and longs are expressed in radians
3. 1 Nautical mile = 1.852 km (for sea and air navigation)
4. Angle (in degrees) from Waypoint 1 to Waypoint 2 measured
5. Angle between two waypoints = mod(atan2(sin(lon1-lon2)*cos
sin(lat1)*cos(lat2)*cos(lon1-lon2)), 2*pi)
where all lat and longs are expressed in radians
