I’m about to pull my hair out over this! What little I have, anyway.
I’ve got a script that is mostly working, thanks to everyone that has posted the bits that have helped me write this. I’ve seen lots of posts about getting XML feeds and not that many complete examples, so I’m going to post my whole code in case it helps anyone.
The code relies on TinyXMLReader from the wiki, so you must get that for it to work. You attach this to a game object and see the Console for the information from a saved Google Map RSS feed or you can just copy the RSS to your local drive and read it from there.
At any rate, my question is that I have got my longitude and latitude data in as floats but they are being rounded at least in the console, and then they are being seen as large numbers once applied to objects.
[Edit:] I just realized I had a script hard-coding a coordinate into the Prefab 
[/Edit]
At any rate, here’s some nice code to share :lol: The code below works.
Still having issues with rounding though: 39.731789 -104.960243 from GoogleMaps shows up in Unity as: 39.73179 -104.9602.
