SMS Coordinate format in share mapcenter, accepting other than decimal format?

Hi,


as in


http://forum.asamm.cz/viewtopic.php?f...


explained, Locus can be called from another program to show a position that is sent via sms. As I understood this, coords in sms must be formated as url like this:


http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Locus@5...


I would like to use this feature to automatically show the requested position of my handicaped son which is sent to me from his LOCATOR by sms in this format:


$GPRMC,084959.000,A,5251.3901,N,01201.1397,E,0.00,65.28,240512,,,A*58


The coords in the above sms are N52°51.3901 E12°01.1397


With the help of Tasker I could "translate" the sms and send as an URL to Locus but have problems to transfer it from DDD MM.MMM format to Decimal format.


There could be a way to save the coords first as GPX and open it later in Locus but this is taking to much time, since at this time I have already started to desperately searching him ....


Any help would be welcome.


PS: I need it as an offline option, since roaming in foreign holiday countries is quite costly.

I used the decimal format as in the example and it worked.
