Richard,

Thanks! I have that part figured out....but the latest issue is that the point is off by about 10 miles from its actual location. So I still have conversion issues... The data came with a format like this: 119.58.56
When I put the -negative in, Excel doesn't like the second decimal, so it has to come out.

It looks like the data from the GPS unit is in decimal minutes, as the second values are over 60 (some of them), but that MapPoint may be reading it as minutes and seconds. I need to play with it a bit and figure out what is going on.

John
