Hello all.

I am trying to add way points manualy to my GPSs (old eMap and eTrex).

My problem is converting the long & lats to Garmins format. Some
sources use decimal, while others use deg/min/sec, and I have found
many converters on-line, however, Garmin, for some reason, uses a
combination of the two, IE; N34 (degrees) 12.617'.

Any body know of a site, or the formula to convert decimal and/or
deg/min/sec to Garmins format?

Thanks a bunch!
