Question

I was posting similar post already. And I did get an answer in theory but I really need somone to help me.

So I am using this EXAMPLE for testing my GPS. What I want to do is how to get standard decimal values like 56,322415 for latitude and longitude.
Because now I am getting 5304,254 value.

I need it in this form because I will use this for Google maps.

Can you check code and tell me what should I left out or how to convert it to WGS84 format.

Thank you.

EDIT:

Here is the picture that is explaining what I see when I run the program

And this is the one that is one the codeproject page:

EDIT 2:

So when I use THIS CONVERTER to see what decimal values I need to get when I have degrees I don’t get the same values.

This is the value that I should get :

And this is the value that I get in the program:

46.64662666666667

Any idea why I can’t get same conversion?

Answer 1

the following line in the ParseNMEA function is the one that does the conversion from WGS84 to the British Ordinance Survey coordinates:

return Transform(deciLat, deciLon, height);

so if you remove that line and just use deciLat and deciLon values, you should be fine…

Addition after question update:

The code you’re referring to does not take local number formats into account, so if this goes wrong, it might be because of erroneous decimal symbol matching.

You can use the following functions to do the conversion, presuming the input is always in the invariant culture (with decimal points):

string[] arrLon = strLon.Split(new char[]{'°', '"'}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
double dblLon = double.Parse(arrLon[0]) + double.Parse(arrLon[1], new System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo()) / 60;
double deciLon = arrLon[2] == "E" ? dblLon : - dblLon;
