Description
The GetDMSFromCoords method returns a formatted string from a Point that has either geographic or projected coordinates. The Point must have a spatial reference that has a defined coordinate system. The returned values are in degrees minutes and decimal seconds and have direction (hemisphere) information. The precision parameter controls the number of decimal places used in the output second values. The sample below has a precision of 4.
longitude = -100.0
latitude = 40.0
Output = "40 00 00.0000N 100 00 00.0000W"
