I am using this library and downloaded the sample,. works great however I nmeed to plug into the location variables x and y.
It appears to be min.sec
How do I convert the deg.mins.sec to m.s ?

I pull the colon out and remove the comma for example but places the marker / actual location approx 15km away.
The device gps hands to android device app
Lat = -33:13.19136 Lon = 150:35.35815

I send this to the server side and need to display on pc in b4j app. GoogleMaps libray wants different format. How is this acheived please ?

One more question........

Where do I get the api key for for the folliwing line of code in the sample

gmap.Initialize2("gmap", options) 'You should call Initialize2 and set the API key!

I have had a look around the google play console and cannot fnd this.
