I'm having a hard time understanding how to see on a map the location given to me by some location NMEA sentence:
foe example: given the sentence
$GPRMC,225446,A,4916.45,N,12311.12,W,000.5,054.7,191194,020.3,E*68
where and what information do I type, to see this location on a map?
Answer
It is in ddmm.mmmm format for latitude and in dddmm.mmmm for longitude
to convert it into dd.dddd format you will need to do
dd + mm.mmmm/60 for latitude
ddd + mm.mmmm/60 for longitude
in your case
4916.45,N,12311.12,W
will be
49 + (16.45/60) = 49.2741 N
123 + (11.12/60) = 123.1853 W
simply put (49.2741 N 123.1853 W) on google maps to see the location
