I know how far 10,000 meters is -- but how far is 2 Degrees, 16 Minutes and 34 Seconds?!?<< I can't visualize distances at all - haven't a clue how far 10,000 meters is - I can figure out a hundred yards because it is the size of football field! So I rather like DMS - I can see the map pages in my head sorta - with those numbers.
