Problem with GPS accuracy

I wrote a program to get the lat and lon using the GPS tutorial.

I get back 80:2.82251, 26:42.56721. I put it in maps.google and I am miles off.
I looked up on maps.google.com and he says I am at -80.0637, 26.70951.

Reason I need the write data, I added a show button (with webview) so I can call maps.google.com and show a map of where I am.

Also, the webview does no to anything, though I have the URL in there, it's like the main activity might be blocking it. I can type it in firefox and I get a map miles off, but I get a map.

Your GPS looks like it is Degrees:minutes and Google looks like decimal degrees.

Ahh! More work. Will see if there is a conversion out there I can port over.

Not sure why the webview did not at least show something.
