Hi all,

My source gave me the following lat and long codes from Amsterdam. But I can't get them working with Google Maps. Is there some logic behind it, or some kind of algorithm to convert them?

5,237,300,539,279,090 | 489,290,714,263,916

Should be something like this:

52.378268, 4.888859

How can one tell where the dots should be?

Thanks!

I guess:

  • Remove the comma's (it's the thousands separator in the Netherlands)
  • Assume 14 decimals

52.37300539279090, 4.89290714263916

Do they always have 14 decimals? Is that a valid assumption? (just asking)

I don't know, I just made this up.

Thanks for your help Sjoerd, in the end I found out that the source kind of messed up the lat/longs. The Excel sheet had some sort of default formatting for those cells.
