What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Connect a plain NMEA GPS module to APM.
2. Connect Mission Planner.
3. Have the GPS module report a latitude of 52.199617 deg.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Exptected output: 52.3326950 deg.
Seen instead: 52.3217725 deg.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ArduCopter 2.6
Please provide any additional information below.
I think there's an error in method AP_GPS_NMEA::_parse_degrees in
AP_GPS_NMEA.cpp.
The local variable frac_min is declared as unsigned int.
This var receives for digits of the fraction part of the minutes value and is
further multiplied by ten.
This leads to an overflow if the fractional part of the minutes value is
greater than 6,535.
