I am having one heck of a time entering coordinates into MapCreate 6. I could use some help.

What I know, which isn't much.
More than one style of GPS coordinates.
How do I change Map Create 6 style to align with my Maps, and iFinder GPS?
I can download my GPS coordinates to Map Create 6 no problem. However I am having one heck of a time entering NAD27 coordinates into Map Create 6. I keep getting a Log or Lat error, needs to be <60 degrees.

Map Create is looking for this format.

N 00*00'00.0"
W 000*00'00.0"

Note: * equals degrees. I ain't smart enough to find the degree symbol on this thing.

The NAD27 coordinate I want to enter is;
39*26.700'
88*45.850'

What do I have to do to make this work?

Thanks!
