I have problems when reading Lat+Long from textfile,
can not get them into Datatype FLOAT,
to be used in GPS application.

Type conversion is done automatically as needed.

Dim f As Float
f = "1.2" 'f = 1.2

THX i tried it a lot of times
finally found my problem,
it was a wrongly parsed string from ini-file,
a ~ was not filtered away

I highly recommend you to use File.ReadMap / File.WriteMap to save the configuration. It is very simple and reliable.
