You are entering degrees and fraction of degrees. The format is degrees, minutes, and fraction of minutes.


ex. 4504.94N is is 45 degress and 04.94 minutes north.

I entered the coordinates 45.08249 and -101.49484 into the options and it sends the following out: 4504.94N and 10129.69W out. Is this an issue with the program??? I wouldn't have known if I didn't check it in findu..
