Glenn has it right... only thing I have to add is that the H stands for hemisphere... N or S .... E or W

Bernie,

as long as you are in wgs 84 and in the format that you are in, you are correct. GC.com uses the ddd mm.mmm format.

I do not know what the 'H' means on the edit page. I dont think i ever noticed it before.

go for it. i hope it is a good one.

glenn
I'll be looking for it.
