Lat and Long data format

[arobas arobas]

Hello,
I'm currently trying to create a Marker with this kind of data : 13° 45' 7.99" N. In french this is called "sexagécimales", but I don't find the english translation.

The site http://maps.google.com/ recognizes it, but when I want to create my google.maps.LatLng, I have an error.

Is Google Map Api enable to read this kind of data ?

Thanks.

No. You need to convert it to degrees and decimals of a degree.

13° 45' 7.99" N is 13 + (45/60) + (7.99/3600) = 13.752219

I think the usual way of naming your "sexagecimales" is DMS (for degrees/minutes/seconds).

Thanks for your reply and the translation. I'll do research with the keyword DMS.
