here:  I'm trying to map the national bridge inventory, but the
coordinates are stored in this 9-digit code for LAT and LON
Longitude is 81°5.8' Code is 081054800  Page 9 of document found
here explains:  The data can be found here:  I've seen there are
tools like Mimee, but I can't figure out how to run it on Ubuntu
(tried to install correct libraries, etc.)  Is there maybe
another way to do this?   (hoping this question isn't "too
subjective" as stackexchange is suggesting...)   share|improve
