Should those commas be there? Is this a culture thing? Are those
erroneous readings actually 510173.85 and 55951.45?
I have checked it and the commas are there.

You are right, that I use two different GPS receivers. For the GPSSerial I use a DiMP3 bluetooth receiver (SirfIII) and my device has an internal SirfIII.

I have read the NMEA-sentences with your testapplication GPSSerial on the device and the desktop:

Both RMC-Sentences are the same:
GPSSerial: Latitude=5101.7372, Longitude=00559.5017
GPSDriver: Latitude=5101.7505, Longitude=00559.5182
(with the typical receiver difference)


But I have noticed, that GPSSerial shows on the device and the desktop this format:

GPS.Latitude=510.173,850
GPS.Longitude=55.951,450

But I need the following, because it is the format of the GPSDriver-Lib (displayed with the GPSDriver-testapplication):

GPS.Latitude=51.029435
GPS.Longitude=5.99185

What can I do without modifying the code for desktop and device?
