Help us to help you. Is 254802
25 degrees - 48 minutes - 02 seconds

That is can we assume that the first angle only goes to 90?

One way:

Latitude:

=TEXT(TEXT(LEFT(A1,6),"00\:00\:00")*24,"00.0000")&MID(A1,7,1)

Longitude:

=TEXT(TEXT(MID(A1,9,7),"00\:00\:00")*24,"000.0000")&RIGHT(A1,1)

Change the "00.0000" and "000.0000" to reflect the number of decimal
places you want to display.
