Using a local school, it's listed as :

341913N 0895700W

And Google Maps states:
We could not find 341913N 0895700W
Make sure your search is spelled correctly. Try adding a city, state, or zip code.

I tried adding the Town, and it will ID the above address (by name, not pinpointing it on the map). I know little to nothing about what I'm trying to do here, but I thought things were listed with symbols (degrees, feet, etc.) in the coordinates. I've tried searching to see if I needed to add decimals, degree symbol, etc....but nothing I try will pinpoint this on Google Maps.

What am I doing wrong, or what do I need to to to "convert" this to something usable/acceptable for Google Maps?

Thanks!

Spaces- and periods.

You have to have the proper format in Degrees Minutes or Degrees Minutes Seconds or MGRS or Decimal Degrees or...

See where I put the spaces and periods-
