So when I get a NOTAM NAV Warning, example:

NAV WARNINGS
+ TEMPORARY RESTRICTED AREA ESTABLISHED OVER VARMDO WI A
CIRCLE WITH RADIUS 1 NM CENTERED ON 591857N 0182538E. FLIGHT WI THE
AREA PROHIBITED FOR ALL ACFT. AFTER CLEARANCE FROM STOCKHOLM ATCC
+46(0)858554700 THE FOLLOWING TFC IS EXEMPTED: SWEDISH MIL ACFT,
ACFT ON POLICE-AMBULANCE-, CUSTOMS-, COAST GUARD- OR SAR MISSION.
LOWER: GND
UPPER: 1500FT AMSL
FROM: 04 APR 2021 08:30 TO: 04 APR 2021 13:00 EST ES/A0338/21

I know that 591857N 0182538E is the geographcial coordinates that tells where I can't fly my drone between 08:30 and 13:00 April 4th.

I also know that I can find the "centered on" spot in Google Maps by typing in 59°18'57"N 18°25'38"E.

But is there a website or converter which allows me to copy and paste the "591857N 0182538E" and give me the location directly or convert to WGS 84?

Why was there a NAV Warning? A missing person was found dead (probably murdered) and the Police didn't want anyone to be filming when they were searching through the area.
 
I did a quick google search for gps coordinates converter and found this link:

WGS84 is not a coordinate system - it's a geodetic datum. The coordinates are already in the lat/long geographic representation, so which coordinate system do you want to convert them to, and why?

The "coordinates" I get in the NOTAM from the Swedish Civil Aviation Administration os 591857N 0182538E. I would like to copy paste that to an app or a website and see on a map where I'm not supposed to fly during a certain time.

I see - so you are just trying to avoid having to re-write those in conventional lat/long notation by adding °'"? That's pretty simple.

However, flight planning apps such as Foreflight will accept the original format if you want to invest in one of those. Most mapping programs don't recognize lat/long without the punctuation.
 
I don't know whether "591857N 0182538E" represents decimal or degrees-minutes-seconds format. Either way, you can go to Degrees Minutes Seconds to/from Decimal Degrees to convert it to a standard decimal or degrees-minutes-seconds format. You can then use the resulting coordinates to find the location on, say, Google Maps.

For example, let's say "591857N 0182538E" is in degrees-minutes-seconds format. Enter 59, 18 and 57 in the appropriate "Degrees Minutes Seconds to Decimal Degrees" boxes on Degrees Minutes Seconds to/from Decimal Degrees to get 59.315833 (the north latitude in decimal format). And enter 018, 25, and 38 in the boxes to get 18.427222 (the east longitude in decimal format). You then enter "59.315833, 18.427222" (without the quotes) in Google Maps' search box and hit Enter to bring you to your location in Farstalandet, Sweden.

NB: The convention for lat/long in decimal format is that northern latitudes and eastern longitudes are positive numbers, and southern latitudes and western longitudes are negative. Thus, the Empire State Building in NY City is at 40.7484567352881, -73.98569658802097 -- ie, positive latitude, negative longitude.

You job is easier if "591857N 0182538E" represents decimal-formatted lat/long. You just add decimal points to get 59.1857, 018.2538 lat/long, and enter those coordinates in Google Maps. Or, if the mapping program requires degrees-minutes-seconds, you just use the "Decimal Degrees to Degrees Minutes Seconds" boxes at Degrees Minutes Seconds to/from Decimal Degrees, to convert decimal lat/long to degrees-minutes-seconds format.

NOTAMs are in DMS format, not DD.
