Re: [TangoGPS] POI coordinates as WGS84 deg and min

2009-07-11 Thread Patrick Beck
Hi,

you have to change the format in the config section - degress and
minutes. Now you can enter it in the Format 55 33.218 and 008 08.493
(the space between degress and minutes and the dot are required)

with kind regards

Patrick

 Hello,
 
 I'm using TGPS for geocaching. The coordinates always get listed as f.e.
 N 55° 33.218 E 008° 08.493 (WGS84 degrees and minutes)
 If I have to build the coordinates for the cache's second stage by 
 hand, I only get these coordinates as reference, but TGPS needs WGS84 
 Decimal Degrees as POI coordinates.
 As a feature wish: Could someone please make TGPS understand degrees and 
 minutes? :)

AFAIK, tangogps should accept the other formats happily if you enter them
correctly, I do not know if it works in all input fields, though. For
geocaching ( which is the main use of my Freerunner ) I added a bunch of
extras to tangogps waiting to be included - if you're interested, check

Feel free to contact me with any specific questions,

Re: [TangoGPS] POI coordinates as WGS84 deg and min

2009-07-09 Thread Marcel
I tried in the add POI window with this coordinate:
N 55° 33.144 E 8° 6.278
with or without the degree character (which hasn't made it into illume's 
default keyboard, used ssh -X to test that).
The SQL command executed by tGPS looks like this:

SQL: INSERT INTO poi (idmd5, lat, lon, visibility, cat, subcat, keywords, 
desc, price_range, extended_open) VALUES 
('833501616702973561',0.00,0.00,1,1,0,'Leuchtturm 1','',3,0)
   

So the lat/lon values silently fall to zero, I guess because of the 
characters instead of ciphers in the text input field.
