If you are attempting to use the Geocoding API, to 'convert' these, then - dont.
It instead runs a referese geocode on the coordinates- and may end up giving a far away place. The javascript to do the conversion yourself, isnt that difficult. Example: http://homepage.mac.com/bruno_andrighetto/JavaScript/DegreesMinutesSeconds.html http://www.google.com/search?&q=degrees+minutes+seconds+to+decimal+degrees+javascript<http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=degrees+minutes+seconds+to+decimal+degrees#sclient=psy&hl=en&q=degrees+minutes+seconds+to+decimal+degrees+javascript> On 21 March 2011 19:18, Loonis <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Experts, > > LatLng is driving me crazy...
