That's an odd format - no default conversion for it.

So, it takes some string manipulation:

SELECT REPLACE(LEFT(CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),13),11),' ','-')

SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(CHAR(11), GETDATE(), 106), ' ', '-')

N 56°04'39.16"
E 12°55'05.25"

Please don't cross post.

The Monthname function will get you the month name, you can use datepart to extract the others, and then concatenate the strings together (CASTing required for the numbers).
