GHOWL GPS COORDINATES CONVERSION

Hi every body, and Happy New Year 2013!!

I'm in a trouble trying to convert the GPS coordinates, recorded by an ARDUINO GPS LOGGER SHIELD, from ADAFRUIT industries (similar than the one form SPARKFUN)... the data is like that:

lat	long
+37 35.9040	-000 58.6545

I want to draw the track points and I have done a try, (using google earth refernce points with decimal degrees ) following the discusions I found in gHowl forum, but I dont know what I'm doing wrong....

I hope you could help me soon!!!...

thank you!

Carlos B.M.

Input to Geo->XYZ needs to be in valid GH point format. Either provide strings in the format {x,y,z} or just plug your Lat./Long coordiantes as X and Y to a PointXYZ component.

The GPS lat lon coordinates are not being formatted correctly. Check this conversion for how to do it correctly: http://notinthemanual.blogspot.com.es/2008/07/convert-nmea-latitude...
