There's also the fact that your GPS may be giving 
you values in a different format.

We require:

Deg Min Sec  (eg. 38 deg 45' 45" N)


There's a converter if you've got decimal degrees:

Deg.dddd (eg 38.7625)


But my GPS (and Kaz's) gives me decimal minutes:

Deg Min.mmm (eg 38 deg 45.75' N)


If I ignored that decimal point and entered: 38 
deg 45' 75" it would just ignore me (since you 
can't have 75 seconds in a minute!).  There 
should probably be a warning that pops up, but 
you can't catch everything.
