Hi all,
I reckon I have lots of gaps about carthography but normally I do not struggle too much in converting coordinates.
I have to plot some coordinates in ARCGIS.
They are in the format below:
43°31.4, 1°46.4
First of all if I tried to add a point (using Go to XY tool) into GIS just to see where these coordinates are it show them in the wrong place.
Normally when I want to convert coordinates in easting and northing to be able to plot them in GIS I do:
(min/60)+degree
If I do the above conversion it gives me the metres and if I plot them in GIS they are shown exactly where the other "Go to XY" shows me.
That is why I believe my conversion is ok.
What should the problem be?
I am really confused and I do not know any other trick to make the job
Many thanks

Hi,
Of course I had to put the "-" upfront to all my values in the table before importing them with the Convert Coordinate Notation tool but it worked!
Really appreciated your help,
Cheers
