decode lat lng values - google-maps

Question

I have an third party application which saves lat and lng values as below in the db.
lat lng lat_dir lng_dir
2824.2311 07703.0962 N E
The problem is, It is not clear on which unit lat lng values are saved in DB.
I have tried to convert in degree by assuming the values in KM. After Lat comes some where nearby If I assume,But in no way lng comes. lng values is more away that I can assume.
Any Guidence is appreciated.
PS. I have no control over third party application, and there is no document present over lat lng calculation by third party application.

Answer 1

Google map requires the lat and lng to be in the decimal format. The format that the third party application is storing is used by some GPS tracking devices. I don't recall what the format is called though.
You will need to convert the lat / lng to decimal format before plotting it on the map. Given below is the Java code to convert it into a decimal format.
private static String getCordinate(String location) {
int len = location.length();
String decimals = location.substring(len-7);
Float decimalf = Float.parseFloat(decimals) / 60;
String first = location.substring(0,len-7);
Float coordinate = Float.parseFloat(first) + decimalf;
return coordinate.toString();
}
Coordinate Format - Latitude : 1907.51672 & Longitude : 7252.34810
Output Format : Latitude : 28.403852 & Longitude : 77.051605
The location is as follows on Google Maps
