No guys you have it all wrong.

His pregnant wife found it at the end of the pier in a map box attached to the pier railing, with a Verizon sticker on top. Her shirt was sweaty after that.

Quick GPS nub questions.


When I do a "what's here" search for a location in google it spits out a gps coordinate that is in the form
31.317051,-65.102657

but the droid landing coordinates are in the form of
N 39 57.488 W 75 10.351

How do I convert the ones from google into the same format as from droidlanding?
I don't have a handheld GPS, so i'm trying to pre-map some of the possible locations with their GPS coordinates, droidlanding style.

Would I have to multiple the
.317051
and the
.102657
parts by 60 and thats it?

I know the W corelates to the (-) sign

thanks
