Decimal degrees vs. DMS
Decimal degrees express a coordinate as a single number with a decimal fraction, such as 25.2722. DMS (Degrees, Minutes, Seconds) splits that same value into a degree, an arcminute, and an arcsecond, such as 25°16'20.00"N. Both describe the same point on Earth; different tools and older maps sometimes prefer one over the other.
