Re: [TangoGPS] POI coordinates as WGS84 deg and min
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 Am Mittwoch, den 08.07.2009, 23:55 +0200 schrieb Marcel: > Hello, > > I'm using TGPS for geocaching.

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

Re: [TangoGPS] POI coordinates as WGS84 deg and min
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 http://n2.nabble.com/tangogps-%2B-geocaching-(DL-link-inside)-td2983362.html Feel free to contact me with any specific questions, Stefan On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 11:55 PM, Marcel wrote: > Hello, > > I'm using TGPS for geocaching.
