Changing the Latitude Longitude display format in Compass

I would like to change the format of the Latitude and Longitude to decimal degrees instead of degrees/minutes/seconds in the Compass app. I can't seem to find where the setting is to change this.

For example, I would like to display in the following format:

46.266944,-121.627222

not this format:

46 16' 1", -121 37' 38"

Thank you

The default iOS compass app cannot be altered to do that as it has no settings to change units. There are third party compass apps that support decimal degree readouts though.
