Well, that's actually better than the "No Data" issue, so that's progress :)

I bet this is the issue.  My guess would be that I'm not handling the
"degrees with decimal minutes" situation correct.  I'm expecting it to
be either "deg(deg)min'sec''" or "deg.deg".  If the lat/lon parsing
fails, then I just default to zero (not very helpful, I know).  Can you
convert to deg-min-sec form or decimal degrees and see if that fixes
your issue?  If it does, I'll see about figuring out why it's not
behaving with what you're giving it.

Thanks!
