[Qgis-user] convert UTM_UPS data from gps to decimal degrees

[b.j.kobben at utwente.nl]

Latitude-longitude coordinates with minutes (') or seconds (") higher then 60 is not just unusual, as giovanni calls it, they're plain impossible.

So that suggest your data is corrupted, I suggest you go back to the source and find out what has happened along the way...

Share Gerardo's confusion. How can you have a geographic ordinate like
50°96'06''2N, it doesn't make sense. Surely no GPS receiver would produce
geographic coordinates like this.
