Convert coordinates from degree-minute-decimal to decimal degree — ss_coords_from_ddm_to

To apply to multiple columns using dplyr::across:

Usage

ss_coords_from_ddm_to_dd(coords_ddm)

coords_ddm: Vector of coordinate values in degree decimal minutes (xx xx.xxxx, e.g., 45 21.651 or 64 2.063). These will be converted to decimal degrees.

Returns a vector of coordinates in decimal-degree format.

1. Define variables to convert:

coords_ddm <- c("deployment_latitude_n_ddm", "deployment_longitude_w_ddm", "retrieval_latitude_n_ddm", "retrieval_longitude_w_ddm")

2. Use the .names argument to specify new column names so that the original columns are not over-written:

dat <- dat_raw ~ss_coords_from_ddm_to_dd(.x), .names = "str_remove(.col, '_w_ddm|_n_ddm')" ))
