kml file format already is expressed in latitude/longitued, like in this example:<br />
<br />
&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?&gt;<br />
&lt;kml xmlns=&quot;<a href="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" rel="ugc">http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2</a>&quot;&gt;<br />
&lt;Placemark&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &lt;name&gt;New York City&lt;/name&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &lt;description&gt;New York City&lt;/description&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &lt;Point&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;coordinates<b>&gt;-74.006393,40.714172,0</b>&lt;/coordinates&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &lt;/Point&gt;<br />
&lt;/Placemark&gt;<br />
&lt;/kml&gt;<br />
<br />
So , according to this example, NYC is in Latitude 40.71.... degrees North and Longitude 74.006... degrees South.<br />
How is your information currently?<br />

HI. I am programming a desktop application where I receive data from a GPS.<br />
<br />
The problem I want to solve is the following:<br />
<br />
I need to convert the Latitude and Longitude data contained in the GPS frame to the correct format that Google earth uses.<br />
<br />
I remeber watching somebody doing in in the past and what I remember is that some mathemathical operation was needed to be done.<br />
<br />
Any GPS Expert that can help me????<br />

converting Latitude and Longitud received from a GPS to Google earth`s geographic coordenades ?

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that provides reliable location and time information in all weather and at all times and anywhere on or near the Earth when and where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. A geographic information system (GIS) or geospatial information system is any system that captures, stores, analyzes, manages, and presents data that are linked to location(s). In the simplest terms, GIS is the merging of cartography, statistical analysis, and database technology.
