[R] GPS data!

[jim holtman]

No need for a function; you can just write the expression yourself:

> x <- read.table(textConnection("  32 31.85
+                        59 48.74
+                         34 05.7
+                        58 50.79
+                         34 05.7
+                        58 50.79
+                         34 05.7
+                        58 50.79"))
