The position you enter using the preference editor is in decimal degrees.
That is because most GPS'es use digital degrees
APRS positions are in degrees and decimal minutes,that is because
the APRS standard uses it.. see http://www.aprs.net/vm/DOS/PROTOCOL.HTM
Positive entries are North and East
Negative entries are South and West

Obs! I should have realized that, particularly since I edited the full
TAPR APRS specification:

But it *was* 10 years ago when I wrote it!
