   this is why i've taken to using the standard form of   
      
     W73d43m33s N35d21m19s   
     -73d43m33s  35d21m19s   
      
   and similar where the 'd' indicates "degrees". 'm' is "minutes" (including   
   decimal minutes) and 's' is "seconds"... it just makes sense when one can't   
   figure out how to create those charcters... we won't even bring up the well   
   known character set and code page conversion mess...
