Hey Brian,

First of all, ditch the degree, minutes, seconds characters from your Latitude / Longitude. Second, use a comma instead of "and" between the Lat / Long. Depending on what program you are using, some don't like it. For example, it doesn't jive on my Garmin Mapsource PC Program. I just omit it completely and it's just one less thing to type :-)

So instead of 34° 51' 39.86" N and 117° 46' 50.36"W use: 34 51 39.86N, 117 46 50.36W. Bob's your uncle, your golden!
