I am using Particle device and neo-6m GPS which does give me values for both longitude and lattitude. However, the values appear to be too high and different from ones that are accepted by google. I’m thinking they might need to be converted in some way? The values that are output are; Latitude:…

You didn't mention which library you are using for the GPS. It looks like it's passing the direct value from the GNSS NEMA messages. 29.1.5 Latitude and Longitude Format According to the NMEA Standard, Latitude and Longitude are output in the format Degrees, Minutes and (Decimal) Fractions of Min…

Thank you so much! That makes sense and just found a converter online which gives me the results! [image] Simple Converter from NMEA to Decimal Will there be a function within particle or a library that might be able to do this in my filmware?

I meant to add the library i am currently using is Particle-GPS.h

Would anyone know how i can convert NMEA to Decimal? Latitude: 5555.8287 Longitude: 302.4025 Say these are stored in variables: latitude = 4717.112671 longitude = 00833.914843 I want to convert these to dd format Latitude 47.28521118 Degrees Longitude 8.56524738 Degrees so to update my var…

@paul41 , to be honest I’m not sure why you don’t use the TinyGPS++ library which does all that parsing and conversions for you. The Particle-GPS library makes extensive use of Strings which are known to create heap fragmentation problems.

The TinyGPS++ libary is not supported by the Particle device as i had tried this option prior.

You mean this library hosted in the Particle library repo? https://build.particle.io/libs/TinyGPS++/0.9.4/tab/TinyGPS++.cpp It’s also widely used as part of the AssetTrackerRK library (which also sports a UbloxGPS “sub-library”) https://build.particle.io/libs/AssetTrackerRK/0.4.1/tab/AssetTracker…
