[Proj] wgs point (lat-lon 'NMEA' to N-E 'metric') "was (lat-lon 'degres' to N-E 'metric')"

[Massimo Di Stefano]

Yes it is a NMEA gps output

i'm tring to red it directly from a seria device,

reformat it in a rght format readable by proj
can i trasnfor it from :

4051.1749  N   01415.5317   E

to

40 51 17.49 N  014 15 53.17


that isn't the same of:

40.511749  N   014.155317   E

right?
(sorry for this basilar question!)


have you any suggestion/comment to
read directly the NMEA format in proj !

i'm playing with awk or other bash command to reformat this...
but i'm a newbie student...:-)
...  have you any suggestion about ?

thanks,

Massimo
