Please note: All GPS coordinates are in “decimal degrees” (DD) format. This format is used for common, open-access mapping programs such as Google Maps and Google Earth. For example, a coordinate such as “N 47.70350° / W 053.20061” can be written as “47.70350, -053.20061” in your computer browser, Google Maps, etc., for the correct coordinates. These apps are very useful on the trail if you do not have access to handheld satellite GPS equipment.
