Converting geo coordinates from degree to decimal

Question

I want to convert my geographic coordinates from degrees to decimals, my data are as follows:

         lat     long
105252 30°25.264 9°01.331
105253 30°39.23         


        

Answer 1

Try using the char2dms function in the sp library. It has other functions that will additionally do decimal conversion.

library("sp")
?char2dms
