Mate I'm a bit unsure what you mean here.

What is MHL?

What is "Wave Recorded"

I punched in the co-ords & added a zero to the equation as follows

33.46.540" S 151.25.290" E

Here's the mark on Google at the top right hand corner "Untitled Placemark" (The red cross)

The coordinates were in

Minutes , degrees and seconds

The other format is in decimal and there is also decimal minutes and seconds DMS

You need to check what format co-ords are in and then either convert them or enter them in the same format into the corrected google map

so you don't just add zeros

There is a mch better site with explainations and manual workings but I can't put my finger on it. It had conversion betweenWG 84 etc etc
