Hello,

I’ve got an Ipaq H2210 and Socket BT GPS receiver and want to save data as to where I’ve been and then import this into a mapping program such as MapPoint. I also want this to show speed.

The software that came with the Socket saves info in this format:-

$GPGGA 130329.045 5241.8772 N 120.5954 W 1 7 1.5 230.5 M 47.6 M 0 0000*6F
$GPGSA A 3 13 16 24 4 1 10 2 2.5 1.5 2.0*36
$GPGSV 3 1 10 13 65 66 42 24 56 268 36 4 45 198 34 27 45 157 25*73
$GPGSV 3 2 10 1 32 64 41 8 21 178 0 10 20 293 39 2 15 60 36*7F
$GPGSV 3 3 10 16 11 38 37 6 6 338 40*7C
$GPRMC 130329.045 A 5241.8772 N 120.5954 W 0.110575 110703 *01
$GPGGA 130330.045 5241.8771 N 120.5952 W 1 7 1.5 229.7 M 47.6 M 0 0000*68
$GPGSA A 3 13 16 24 4 1 10 2 2.5 1.5 2.0*36
$GPGSV 3 1 10 13 65 66 42 24 56 268 35 4 45 198 35 27 45 157 23*77
$GPGSV 3 2 10 1 32 64 41 8 21 178 0 10 20 293 39 2 15 60 36*7F

Which I cannot import into MapPoint of get lat / long / speed from.



Can anyone help?


Follow on .......

I now understand that (5241.8772 N 120.5954 W) is the lat/long bit but MapPoint will only import this in WGS84 standard (?) which is 52.697265 -1.342208. There must be some simple calculation. I've also linked the Socket device to the PC and the direct data stream coming from it, is the same as the file i posted.
