For instance: Taiwan, Sandiajiao Lighthouse: P4694 - Coordinates 25 00.46  122 00.11 ! If I put in Google Maps in this way, it works!
But how to convert in GPS coordinates I find in Google Maps, 25.007890  122.001812 ! This typ of coordinates I find in my search for special points in Google Maps!
I hope, everyone can understand! ;) Thanks!

Actually format of coordinates could be:

dd.dddddd
dd mm.mmmm
dd mm ss.s

Where d - degrees and decimals, m - minutes and decimals, s - seconds and decimals.
Formula to convert:
dd.dddddd = dd + mm.mmmm/60 = dd + mm/60 + ss.ssss/3600
opposite way (several iterations required):
1 step: mm.mmmm=0.dddd * 60 (0.dddd is only decimal digits of degrees) 
2 step: ss.ssss=0.mmmm *60 (0.mmmm is only decimal digits of minutes)

Also here you can find online calculator:
