Stored GPS Coordinates in non-standard format #3

Hello and thanks for publishing such an awesome dataset!

While trying to read the ego log (logs/log_ego-vehicle.txt), I noticed that GPS coordinates are in a NMEA-like format. However, without having the full message it would be difficult to decode those and transform them to e.g. decimal degrees. Do you have any transformation or link on how this could be done?

Dear achariso, thanks for using the PREVENTION dataset.

GPS coordinates are in NMEA format as lat/long (fields 3 and 4) and in UTM format as nothing/easting (fields 5 and 6), which are metric coordinates.

Fields 5&6 did the job, thanks a lot!
