GPSFix objects
The Longitude property holds information about the longitude of a position fix.
The Longitude property takes a value of the GPSCoordinate structure, which holds the longitude of a position fix in degrees and minutes in the Eastern or Western hemisphere. The Minute property is a real value. The following example takes the Minute property, separates it into whole minutes and a partial minute, and converts the partial minute into a number of seconds:
SerialGps myGPS GPSFix myFix GPSCoordinate myCoord Integer fixMinutes, rc Real fixSeconds MyGPS = CREATE SerialGPS rc = myGPS.Open() ... rc = MyGPS.GetFix(myFix) myCoord = myFix.Longitude fixMinutes = Integer(myCoord.Minute) fixSeconds = (myCoord.Minute - fixMinutes) * 60 mle_1.text = "Longitude: " & + String(myCoord.degree) + " degrees " & + String(fixMinutes) + " minutes " & + String(fixSeconds) + " seconds " & + String(myCoord.Hemisphere)
