Your first number 5129 is degrees and minutes the second number is 51.49 which is degrees and fractions of a degree . The numbers are in different units but they do agree;  51 degrees 29 minutes is the same as 51.49

Hello,

I believe the NEMA output is degrees minutes then decimal minutes.  The other output is decimal degrees. So 5129.7213,N is 51 degrees 29 minutes and 7213 decimal minutes.

So 5129.7213,N is equivalent to 51.495355.

Of course I could be wrong.

Thanks.
