TransPort routers output the GPS location in a format that needs to be modified before entering it into Google maps.
To obtain the GPS location:
Look in the router GUI at Management > Position
Or
Use the CLI command at\mibs=gps
For example, from the CLI:
at\mibs=gps
gps.0.stats.longitude = 00148.61869 W
gps.0.stats.latitude = 5355.76195 N
This output is degrees and decimal minutes, we use and display in this format because this is the format generated by the GPS receiver.
Whole degrees longitude is always the first 3 digits, whole degrees latitude is always the first 2 digits
The output from the GPS receiver then becomes:
00148.61869 W = 1 degree 48.61869 minutes West
5355.76195 N = 53 degrees 55.76195 minutes North
Which can be pasted into Google maps as:
001 48.61869 W 53 55.76195 N
