Converting from DMS to DD is straight foreward; just enter the angle using the degree symbol and appropriate tick marks and press Enter. The answer is given in DD. However, search as I might, I have not been able to find the key sequence to convert from DD to DMS. I am using the HP Prime, Version 2015617 (8151) - thanks Joe!
Thanks in advance.

I have found a solution in another support group.
To convert between DD and DMS -
First, be on the Home mode screen as this key sequence does not work in CAS mode.
Type in the angle in either format, then press [Shift] {a b/c]. This sequence will toggle back and forth between DD and DMS.
Note to HP: I have searched through the pdf User's Manual for this information and not found it. It should be incorporated into the User's Manual. Thank you.

FYI, it is in the manual. See the section entitled "Hexagesimal numbers" (page 14 in my copy; page number might be different in other editions). It explains how pressing [Shift] [a b/c] toggles between DMS and DD.
