Important: In HBPC you must add a 0 (zero) before the degree value in the Longitude field - so 88° 14.468' would be entered as 088°14.468' ...

And also important : HBPC defaults the Longitude as "E" (East) - this must be changed in HBPC to "W" (West) for North America - so the above Longitude example should read W088°14.468' ...

The above converter values out to 5 places in the minutes (') = leave off the last 2 zeros when entering into HBPC ...

After you get the values entered into HBPC - highlight that specific Waypoint field and click the Google Earth icon at the top left to see if the Waypoint is actually where you expect it to be on Google Earth ...
