[gdal-dev] OGR VRT with DMS possible ?

[Holger]

Hi,

I want to setup a VRT source like this
<OGRVRTDataSource>
<OGRVRTLayer name="Marks">
    <SrcDataSource relativeToVRT="1">Marks.xlsx</SrcDataSource>    
    <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>    
    <GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" reportSrcColumn="FALSE"
x="Field8" y="Field7"/>   
	<LayerSRS>EPSG:4326</LayerSRS>
</OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

The problem is that the coordinates are specified like 
    
24d23'23.6" 44d12'23.78

It looks like OGR doesn't interpret this well, because 

ogrinfo -al marks.vrt

shows 

POINT(240000000000000000000001111, 44.0)

as geometry. I couldn't find a hint whether or how this works.

TIA,
 Holger
