ArcGIS coords don't match Google Earth

[Esther_Morrow]

I am looking for a village in Indonesia.  The coordinates given are S 0 deg, 18'; E 130 deg, 40'.  On gEarth, it shows a village in that location. 

In Pro 2.9, that position is in a different place and there is no village according to the imagery basemap.  Can anyone help me understand why the coordinates don't match?

Or better yet, what do I need to do to fix the problem?

Thanks!

Hi @Esther_Morrow!

Your difference in location is caused by using degrees-minutes-seconds format as they would be decimal degrees. 

0 deg 18' S is not -0.18 deg, but -0.3 deg; and
130 deg 40' E is not 130.40 deg, but 130.66666667 deg. 

If I use correct decimal degrees in ArcGIS Pro, the point appears on the same location as on Google Earth. 

I hope this helps!

Thank you so much!  I feel silly, but at least it was a simple solution.
