Hello,

personally, I use Google Maps to locate sites in my work. So I agree with Rey...

LATITUDE (North/South)
N 66°33.122' --> 66+33.122/60 = +66.552033 (+ for North and - for South)

LONGITUDE (West/East)
EO 15°19.224' --> 15+19.224/60 = +15.3204 (+ for East and - for West)

in the Google Maps search bar, instead of a city, just enter the coordinates (separated by a comma):
66.552033,15.3204

and there you go

    In Google Maps, in the top left index "get directions", write for example:
    
    43.292976 5.253973 (separation of longitude/latitude by just a space)
    
    for N 43°29' 29.76" and E 5°25' 39.73"
    
    have a nice day

    Good evening,
    Attention!
    00°00.000 is not the same as 00°00.00' or 00°00'00""; to obtain GPS coordinates on Google Earth, it is sometimes necessary to convert coordinates from one format to another (there are websites for that).
    43.292976 5.253973 is not the same position as 43°29' 29 76" and E 5°25' 39 73"!!!
    
    Have a nice evening.

    I'm sorry, but I don't have a "go to" option in the top left corner of Google Maps. There's just the place to enter the location and/or address. If I enter geographic coordinates there, the response is inconsistent, or even invalid (as is the case with your example "43.292976 5.253973").
    
    Did I miss something?
    
    Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

Are you suggesting that 43.292976 5.253973 would correspond to decimal numbers and not to geographical data in degrees, minutes, seconds? Indeed, I hadn't thought of that, and if that is the case, I would be interested to know the site mentioned that would allow converting decimal coordinates back to geographical coordinates.
Thank you and have a good evening.

  I came across your message late. I don't know if anyone has explained it to you since then, but I remind you that you just need to convert decimal degrees to sexagesimal. I am a sailor; it’s part of my job.
  So, for 43.292976°, you keep 43, which will be the degrees, and you need to multiply the decimals by 60.
  Ex: 0.292976 x 60 = 17.57856. The number before the decimal corresponds to the minutes, which is 43° 17'
  You need to multiply the decimals again to find the seconds, 0.57856 x 60 = 34.7136
  You have, therefore, 43° 17' 34'' = 43.292976°
  And 5.253973° = 5° 15' 14''

    Thank you very much for this clear and concise response; things are now quite clear in my mind.
    It's not very complicated, but it still needed to be explained, and it's very nice of you to take your time to do so.
    I owe you one.

    And following your explanations, I found a free conversion software online, in case it might interest people who followed the discussion (starting with mimmi, who initiated it, but it is true that it's a bit old ?!...),

Thank you, indeed a very interesting link
(but in the sense of "data to address", it does not accept "geographical" data and only works if one knows the "hexadecimal" data).

That being said, a link a little higher pointing to a geo/hex conversion software,
with all of these links, we now have everything we need to,
- either find the coordinates (in geo or hex) of a place,
- or find a place from its coordinates (in geo or hex)!

Thanks to everyone
