How would I go about getting the geopoint/lat. long. coordinates to display 8 digits of percision decimal degrees instead of DMS?

Hi Nakia Porter‌,

The formula to calculate decimal degrees from DMS is:

dd = d + m/60 + s/3600

So:

52° 9' 18.62" = 52° + 9'/60 + 18.62"/3600 = 52,15517222222222°

But wait, isn't there a setting to display the coordinates in decimal degrees?

I am currently looking for a setting that does that via Survey123 Connect, because I assumed this is where it would be found, but I have had no luck locating it...

I did see this. I am currently looking at it and trying to figure out where to plug in certain rows on my current template that I need the calculation for.
