Ok,

Perhaps I'd be paraphrasing OG in Solution 1 by stating that without knowing which version of SQL Server you're targetting, saying something like "There is a better as well as built-in geospatial data storage facility in SQL Server 2008 which exposes decimal longitude/latitude operations without troubling manual haversine computation. Which you're heading for using the above input NVARCHAR/VARCHAR string representations"

You're not really on the fence though. So, don't NOT do what OG says in his SELECT paste just because he says not to do it.

Don't do this in SQL: while it is possible, it's very messy:

SQL

SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(ColumnNameContainingLattitude, N'°', N' DEG ' ), N'''', ' MIN '), N'"', ' SEC') FROM MyTable

Either do it in your presentation software, or better, store it as three integer values LatDegrees, LatMinutes, and LatSeconds instead of as a single string then use those to generate your string.
