How to enter/find positions in google maps

Ive been trying out the my google maps, now I am curious as to how to enter the gps coordinates into the map.

I'm using the hddd.mm.mmm formate on my gps.

Is there a way to enter this directly or do I need my calculator?

Cheers Mick Carey

I usually just enter it without the symbols, ie. S35 26.287 E149 13.635. You can also leave off the letter and use -/+ to get the direction.

Thanks, it didn't occur to me to put in the E and the S in.
