How to convert my binary (hex) data to latitude and longitude?

Question

I have some binary data stream which passes geo location coordinates - latitude and longitude. I need to find the method they are encoded.

4adac812 = 74°26.2         


        

Answer 1

I have tried your new data packets:

74+40.1463/60 74+26.3003/60 74+26.2851/60 42+56.3177/60 43+0.2763/60 42+59.6263/60

74.66910, 74.43834, 74.43809, 42.93863, 43.00460, 42.99377

My program gives:

74.668392, 74.439881, 74.437368, 42.961388, 42.993224, 39.407346

The differences are:

-0.000708,  0.001541,  -0.000722,  0.022758, -0.011376, -3.586424

I re-used the 4 constants i derived from your first packet as those are probably stored in your client somewhere. The slight differences might be the result of some randomization the client does to prevent you from getting the exact value or reverse-engineering their protocol.
