It's a bug in Android SDK.

B4X:

            if (sec < 0 || sec > 59) {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("coordinate=" +
                        coordinate);
            }

It checks that sec is not larger than 59. It should be sec >= 60.
You can go ahead and submit a bug in their database if you like (maybe it already exists, I haven't checked).

Thank you Erel. This bug is very annoying because this app is a Golf Greenfinder and it will be a little bit difficult to ask the Golf Club to move that green

So, where can I have to go to submit the bug?

Thank you in advance

Seems like it was already opened in 2009: Issue 2667 - android - Location.convert should allow second values to 59.999..., throws exception on 05-13 22:27:57.071: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(3924): Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: coordinate=30:26:59.5644 - Android - An Open Handset A

Somethimes I'm too 'mentalist': I just putted the coords of that hole in decimals and all works fine. I think the bug will stay there for a long time.
