Can't create points using map chart

Hello there. I'm using Qlik Sense Desktop, the latest version (downloaded last week).

I'm using a csv file as the data source for my application.
I've done all other charts for my app, but the map doesn't work in anyway I try it.

The csv looks like this (is quite big, 16 fields).

datedriver_nameLatitudeLongitude...
2018-05-01 19:03:21John-23.40600166-44.468035...
2018-05-01 19:03:44Eric-4.18610166-44.468035...
2018-05-01 21:02:50Mike-23.40599166-46.404655...
2018-05-02 12:02:50Carl-23.40599166-46.404655...

Some fields may repeat. The only "geo" fields are latitude and longitude.

Qlik doesn't recognize the Latitude and Longitude when creating point maps.

I created a dimension called location using GeoMakePoint(Latitude, Longitude), created a map using this as dimension, but it doesn't show anything.

With the full file, it says there's an error in a latitude field, but searching in the file there isn't (a field with -23.256 value, image below in portuguese).

Using the first 6 lines, it doesn't work either.

Using six lines with no latitude/longitude repeating, it doesn't work.

Would be glad if someone finds an answer to this.

I've found the answer myself. It is pretty stupid.

Qlik does not recognize this notation: -23.40..., -44.46

Switching for "-23,40...", "-44,46..." works.
