Right or Wrong with Google Maps and Bing Maps

I would like to point attention to this small errors in Bing Maps and Google maps.

,

Town of Dupnitsa, Bulgaria (42.2624644, 23.108754). As you can see above The label of the town is totally wrong according to Bing Maps. Stanke Dimitrov is an old name (20 years ago) of the town. Seems that Bing’s labels database is little bit old although that they refresh their imaginary and map lairs for this area 4 month ago.

The other two pictures represent an label error made from Google Maps. In Google Maps- Vrajdebna (42.71183, 23.41169) – one of the neighborhoods in Sofia -capital of Bulgaria is written as Kremikovtsi. Kremikovtsi is a small town which is near Sofia. You can see it in the same image.

If you have some errors or something like that you can send me the coordinates. I send couple of mails to Bing Maps and to Google Maps in order to help but I had no answers… 🙂

How to convert coordinates from degrees, minutes, seconds to decimal format

How to DD.DDDDDD  to  DD°MM’SS.SSS”

Here’s how to do it alone.
Conversion from degrees, minutes, seconds to decimal format:
Conversion is by adding degrees minutes divided by 60, plus seconds divided to 3600.

Example:
If we have  42° 41′ 48.6528″ 23° 19′ 14.9298″
=>
42+(41/60)+(48.6528/3600) => 42.696848
23+(19/60)+(14.9298/3600) => 23.320813

 

Conversion from decimal format to degrees, minutes, seconds:

The number before the decimal point are degrees. Take only the decimal part and multiply by 60. The resulting number to the decimal point are minute. Again taking only the decimal part and multiply by 60. Receiving seconds.

Example:
42.696848 =>
42 degrees
0.696848 * 60 = 41.81088 => 41 minutes
0.81088 * 60 = 48.6528 => 48.6528 seconds
This equal to 42° 41′ 48.6528″
