Hi,

I want to add a GPS coordinate to my phone and save it as a Landmark so I can navigate to it using Nokia Maps.
I have not found a way of doing this, I need to use the format:
Latitude 53°20'38.82"N
Longitude 6°16'2.98"W

Also is there any way of coping saved points from Google Earth?

Thanks Des.

Hi dmarron

Have you come across UTM data application?

Hi dmarron,

You can do that by two ways with Nokia Maps:

1) Open the software "Maps" and find the place in the map. Then you can save (add in Maps 2) it as a landmark.

2) Save any landmark or change it, or any saved one by opening the software "Landmarks". Open the landmark you want, then choose options - change. Then simply write the coordinates (two digits, then dot, then 4 digits) into the corresponding field.
This way you can always change the location of any landmark.

Thanks fro your replys,
I take it when adding
Latitude 53°20'38.82"N
Longitude 6°16'2.98"W

the two digits are
Latitude 53°
Longitude 6°

and the four are
Latitude 20'38
Longitude 16'2

I drop the .82"N
and the .98"W

You use the 53° and the 6°, then, take the second pair of digits, which are minutes, so you have to divide them by 60 (20/60, 16/60), then, the seconds by 3600 (38.82/3600, 2.98/3600)... then you put the numbers together and presto, you have your data converted to decimal to input on landmarks.

As for google earth, let me tell you one thing straight - the coordinates are not the same. That's right, the lat/long coordinates in google maps/earth does not correspond to the same location in nokia maps. At least the ones i have in HK.

Anyway back to your question, basically, you get a gpx file from google earth, and then use http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ to convert gpx to lmx. Put it in your phone, then open the file up in file manager. There you can import all/selected locations.

Unforturnately, chinese or other asian language support was lacking in that tool, so eventually i have to write my own ETL apps to convert the file.
