Hi I have a similar problem, but in a slightly different application.
My GPS seems to be priding LAT/LONG in Degrees, Minutes and Decimal Mins (On screen it displays as: N51°26.892, W0°09.002). If i add those strings to google maps through the search box, or with the following link: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=N51°26.892, W0°09.002 then the map displays correctly. However, if i pass the same figures to the api using the following code then it doesn't work. map.setCenter(new GLatLng(N51°26.892, W0°09.002), 13); see: http://travel.tomandalex.co.uk/south-america-2008/2008/09/18/another-post-right-here/ (I have tried wrapping the strings in " marks to no avail). I know the maps on this site are working as if i pass a Gmaps lat long through the code then its all ok see: http://travel.tomandalex.co.uk/south-america-2008/2008/09/16/hello-world/ How do i get the google maps api to accept this string (i have tried each of the following formatting options to no avail: N51 26.892, W0 09.002 : 51 26.892, -0 09.002). Is there an api function i can call to convert the string to accepted gmaps format? Or does anyone know the logic involved in converting N51°26.892, W0°09.002 to 51.448200, -0.150033 so i can write a function of my own.
