Details

The various compatible layouts for each format are described at ?ConvertToDD (see also). If hemispheres are denoted using letters (N/S; E/W) then the same transformation (+ive -ive coordinates) will be carried out on all points. Therefore, in this case, if points within a dataset are in different hemispheres, they will be all be placed into one.
