Latitude is your N/S coordinates and Longitude is the E/W coordinates.

DD = Degrees/Decimal Degrees
DMS= Degrees/Minutes/Seconds with decimal seconds sometimes
The other GPS co-ordinate format is DD MM MMM= Degrees/Minutes/Decimal Minutes
The Habitat co-ordinates you show are the first two types. Pick the one that matches your unit setting.
Helix 12 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G4N, SOLIX 10 G3, Helix 15 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G4N, Helix 8 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G4N, SOLIX 12 G3, MEGA 360, MEGA LIVE TL , MEGA LIVE 2, Xplore 10

I must be stupid.
I am using the DMS..
I am m trying to put in Habitat 1. I select N I put in 32 I put in 42 I started putting in the 568 and it went to W .I ran out of room Do these coordinates look too long?
They all start with 32. So I thought maybe I didn't need to put the 32. That didn't work either Do I need to put the longitude?

yes W -97 11 58.9
only enter one decimal place at the end. Do not round, just drop the last numbers
