Default Technical Help

I need to make sure i am doing this right before i get in the woods and start a trek in the wrong direction, i am internet scouting on google earth and trying to save the gps coordinates into my handheld, my issue is that the coordinates on google earth are numbered a little different than the way i can enter them on my gps, i think i am doing it right but i want to make sure


on google earth i am getting coordinates of 32* 11'27.24"n x 91* 25'38.54"w

on my gps i can't enter them just like that so i put it as close as i can 32*11.272n x 091*25.385w

now i have some other waypoints already marked that were put in on location and using them for comparison it seems that i am close to my mark where i need to be, can some one let me know if this is right or if not how i am supposed to do it, it is an older gps but it is trustworthy, it has saved my backside several times

thanks in advanced
