Postby ivanhoes » Sat Mar 24, 2012 6:34 pm

Hi,

from my iPhone it get GPS data like: N 50 52.547

but in the Gluonconfig a format like this is used: 50.8740820420297°

so, how to convert/calculate them from one format to another?

That's pretty easy

Your iPhone shows degrees and minutes. Minutes go from 0 to 59.
GPS data only shows degrees.

50.874082 = 50 degrees (0.874082 / 100 * 60) minutes
