This toolbox displays the clicked point in degree/minute/second format.
The toolbox illustrates how to:
- Get a coordinate from a user click on the map
- Get longitude and latitude in degrees, minutes, and seconds
- Format strings to show those values
You can modify the strings to display in other formats, and the user can
copy and paste the strings when DMS versions of coordinates are needed.
