title: Google Maps marker getting placed in wrong place
body: <p>I have a form where I can enter the coordinates of a location in the DMS format which gets stored in a table. I find the coordinates by dragging the marker to the place I need, using <a href="http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html" rel="nofollow">http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html</a></p>
  
  <p>The degree, minutes and seconds are separated by white spaces rather than the usual symbols.</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Lat : 9 59 35.9274</li>
  <li>Lng : 76 17 49.0524</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>These values are being stored in fields which are of <strong>varchar</strong> and are stored as it is.</p>
  
  <p>Could someone tell me what the problem is?</p>
  
  <p>But when I retrieve these coordinates to plot it on Google maps, the marker is in some place else.</p>
  
  <p><strong>P.S. : The marker placing works perfect when the coordinates are stored in the DDD format.</strong></p>
