[aprssig] GPS 18 coordinates

[Andrew Rich (Home)]

Hello

Doing some more work on a tracker here, in ASM for the 16F628

I worked out my GPS18 does degrees minutes and decimal minutes 

I am not sure what it will do in those areas where the degrees goes less than 3 and two digits, as I am at -2700.0000 and 15300.0000

Can anyone help me to make my track "universal" by supplying some NMEA examples of a GPS 18

At the moment I see

 2700.0000
15300.0000

My question is, does the GPS 18 zero pad ? when it gets to be smaller than two digits, assuming 90 is the largest and 180 is the largest

,0600.0000, or ,600.0000,  (-90 to +90) 6 degrees

,08700.0000, or ,8700.0000, (-180 to +180) 87 degrees

,00800.0000, or ,800.0000, (-180 to + 180) 8 degrees
