small bug in gpsDirectory.getGeoLocation() #81

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Line 177:
       Double lon = GeoLocation.degreesMinutesSecondsToDecimal(longitudes[0], longitudes[1], longitudes[2], longitudeRef.equalsIgnoreCase("W"));

should be:
       Double lon = GeoLocation.degreesMinutesSecondsToDecimal(longitudes[0], longitudes[1], longitudes[2], longitudeRef.equalsIgnoreCase("E"));

note the "E" instead of the "W"
The sign of the resulting longitude is now wrong.

Thanks for pointing this out. I will investigate and provide any fix in the 
next release.

According to http://www.nationalatlas.gov/articles/mapping/a_latlong.html, the 
current code (West longitude as negative) is correct. This is also the 
convention used in Google Maps, etc.

I agree with your comment. I can not remember or reproduce why I asked this.

Closing this issue as there does not actually seem to be an error here. If you 
experience problems related to longitude, please open a new issue on GitHub:
