Issue:

  First I would like to congratulate the excellent system which developed   

because it helps a lot to novice programmers to learn the basics of  
programming for Adnroid .

was doing the tutorial on how to use the brakes GPS ( Where's My Car ? )  
and found a problem which I tried several ways to solve , thought I was  
doing something wrong or that programming was not following the right  
tutorial, searched errors during hours and remade several times the  
sequence that was in the tutorial, so I decided to download the demo that  
you make available on the site and compare it with what I had created and  
then got the same error .

when you send the url to generate LocationSensor1.LocationChanged component  
takes the latitude and longitude in the following format 1.010 , 0.020 .
separation being with comma but to form the link to access maps.google.com  
correctly should be doing the separation point , eg : 01.010 , 02 020 .
to become clear link being generated is
   http://maps.google.com/maps/?saddr=0,1,0,1&daddr=0,2,0,2
and the correct way to be generated should be
   http://maps.google.com/maps/?saddr=0.1,0.1&daddr=0.2,0.2

I tried formatting the component trying to find some formatting option but  
did not find , so I decided to contact you and ask for help in order to  
solve this problem , I thank the attention .
and the correct way to be generated should be
   http://maps.google.com/maps/?saddr=0.1 , DADDR = 0.2,0.2 & 0.1
