Thanks, works well. I tweaked it to go to 7 desimal places as the new version of google geocoding returns that much precision.

Works fine. Tested it extensively with Firefox regex tester. Some GPS readouts appear as "N 35.993884" instead of just a decimal number. That can be fixed as follows, to allow an optional space after the N or S, but not after the minus.
^(N\s?|S\s?|-)?([1-8]?[0-9]\.{1}\d{1,6}$|90\.{1}0{1,6}$)
