    "**Description:** This notebook shows how to convert degrees-minutes-seconds to decimal degrees. Converting coordinates from Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds (DMS) to decimal degrees can be useful for compatibility with modern systems that use decimal format. It also simplifies calculations and data processing, as working with decimal numbers is often easier and more straightforward than working with degrees, minutes, and seconds."
