I know the difference between Integer, and Real!!
I wrong on write 37.xxxx, The point is not pratical!! sorry!

I discover the problem.
My agps api (on motorola a1000) give me a latitude and longitude using arc minutes, but i wanted latitude and longitude in degrees:

Infact If we multiply the wrong value * 0.0166666667 then we obtain correct value!!

1 arc minutes = 0.0166666667 degree!!

yeah, maybe you should look up the meaning of the word "Integer" first.
The numbers you seem to be dealing with are Real numbers not Integers.

the method should work just fne. Are you sure you are getting the value as signed and non-signed, just wondering that it could exxplain the wrong value. You could also try using the RADIX like EHEX on the appendNum function to insert the number in different numbering schemes.
