Substitute Decimal for Latitude, Longitude

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hello,

I want to use bing maps in my power app. By using GPS i get the Latitude and Longitude with a "," Seperator.

Bing maps can not use this information. I have to delete the coma and substitute it with a dot. Only if i do this i get a map in power apps.

Can someone tell me please how to change the settings to get coordinates with Decimalseparator "."

I use the following function to get the Latitude and Longitude:

If(tglGPSLocation.Value;Location.Latitude&","&Location.Longitude;" ")

Thanks

Can you try

If(tglGPSLocation.Value;Location.Latitude&"."&Location.Longitude;" ")

I am assuming this didn't work for you. So can you try:

Substitute(If(tglGPSLocation.Value;Location.Latitude&","&Location.Longitude;" "), ",",".")

Let me know if this helps.

Thank you for your suggestion.

In my function i get the coordinates, but with the wrong decimal separator.

Your suggested function does not work in my case. With your function I do not get any coordinates.

Thanks

Yes, i try both.

The first one only change the comma between Latitude and Longitude in a dot. But here I need the comma.

The second function does not work.

Sorry may be I am confused by this:
"Bing maps can not use this information. I have to delete the coma and substitute it with a dot. Only if i do this i get a map in power apps."

And then this:
"The first one only change the comma between Latitude and Longitude in a dot. But here I need the comma."

I thought you wanted the comma to be replaced with a dot. Is that not true?

sorry for the confusion.

When i am using the function I get the coordinates e.g. (52,8888,12,34565).
The first part is the Latitude(52,8888) Bing maps can not show me this coordinates on the map because it needs a data without the coma, but with a dot (52.888).
The second part is the Longitude(12,34565). Here it is the same problem.
But between this to coordinates it must be the comma.
In result the data must have the form: 52.8888,12.34565

Got it, makes sense.

Try this:

If(tglGPSLocation.Value;
Substitute(Location.Latitude,",",".") &
","
&
Substitute(Location.Longitude,",",".");" ")

Let me know if this helps.

I believe I may have understood the issue. Can you please try one more thing?

If(tglGPSLocation.Value;
Substitute(Text(Location.Latitude,",","."))
&
","
&
Substitute(Text(Location.Longitude,",","."))
;" ")

Let me know if this works.
