Decimal degrees format:
In decimal degrees format, latitude and longitude are strings of up to 8 characters
representing a decimal number with up to 3 decimal places. No leading zeros are
required. The decimal point counts as one of the characters. Latitude and
longitude must be separated by a comma WITHOUT A SPACE. In general the
format for a point is: dddd.dddN,dddd.dddW.
Converting between formats:
To convert from degrees-minutes-seconds to decimal degrees use the following
formula: dddmmssN � ddd + mm/60 + ss/3600 .
Examples:
Here is an example of an actual lat/long near Kendall Park, NJ in both formats:
0402515N,0743340W or 40.421N,74.561W
NOTE: To see an example of converting latitude/longitude coordinates from
degrees minutes seconds to decimal degrees, please see the Other Formulas tab
of the DEMO_NA.xls workbook.
3.12 Getting State/Country Distances with Toll Amounts
The State/Country report lists toll, toll-free, ferry, and total distances by
state/country. If the PC*MILER|Tolls add-on module is installed with

a trip and the total toll amount for the whole trip.
To get this report, do one of the following:
In Excel 2003: Select an empty cell, then select PC*MILER State/Country
Rpt… from the Excel Insert menu.
In Excel 2007: Go to the Excel Add-Ins menu and click on PC*MILER

for the origin and destination. Select a Routing type if desired (the default is
