I am trying to convert the following to work with the Google maps v3 JS api.
N37 10.320 W122 13.357
How do I convert this to work with the LatLng Object?
I was expecting it to be two decimals, either positive or negative.
Thanks!

I guess it’s just a matter of converting degree-minutes to decimals. The coordinates above mean 37 degrees + 10.320 minutes. 60 minutes make one degree so you should be getting:
In your example
The N/S E/W translate to the sign of the coordinate. I guess North and East mean positive signs, South and West mean negative.
