How to get E6 format of Longitude Latitude for Google Maps on Android

Question

how do i find out the SPECIFIC E6 values of longitude latitude of a location. For example, i googled for long-lat of Asuncion, the capital city of Paraguay.

Answer 1

I'm not sure of a programmatic approach to converting a DMS Coordinate to Microdegrees, but there is a manual conversion process which I came across at:

Also, take a look at this SO question:

Android GeoPoint with lat/long values

If you're manually trying to get GPS coordinates and want values that Android can handle, you can always go to Google Maps and Right-Click on a point on the map and select "What's Here". It will give you the lat/long of that position, though there are many ways of getting these.
