Format of longitude and latitude

[asparov]

Hi All,

How can i get longitude and latitude in the following format:

longitude - (E|W)dddmm.mmmm
For example - E12129.2186 which means E 121°29.2186’

latitude - (N|S)ddmm.mmmm
For example - N2459.8915 which means N 24°59.8915’

Please advise.
Thanks.

In SDK's LocationRefAppForS60 example application you have

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// CLbsReferenceContainer::GetDegreesString
// Changes latitude or longitude represented as degrees to a string of
// a form +DDD'MM''SS.SSSS
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//

void CLbsReferenceContainer::GetDegreesString(
const TReal64& aDegrees,TBuf<KDegreeLength>& aDegreesString) const
{
...
}

It is trivial to modify that method to return the data in your choice of format.

Hi,
I am getting Lat/Long in below mention format:
Latitude
+61o26'53".239

Longitude

Now, How to get the Place name from the the Lat/Long information??

Google a bit for "geocoding" and you will find the answer.

There is no S60 API to provide access to such features (or rather there is an API but there is no service provider) so you will have to use external resources to get this service. E.g. check if Google's license allows you to use their Geocoding API from a mobile application.

Hello,
try this:

TRealFormat realFormat;
realFormat.iType = KRealFormatCalculator | KDoNotUseTriads;
realFormat.iWidth = 30;
realFormat.iPlaces = 6;
iLatitude.Zero();
iLongitude.Zero();

iLatitude.AppendNum(aLatitude, realFormat);
iLongitude.AppendNum(aLongitude, realFormat);

Depending on the targeted phone you might have the option of doing this in Java or Symbian C++. See http://www.forum.nokia.com/lbs for details about available APIs then come back and ask for more technology specific questions (if you still have any ... )
