Lookout Questions Question about Lat & Long

I've always dealt with finding location by S/T/R. However, the district I'm on now only uses lat/long. When a fire location is given as 46 46.275, 110 44.050 and I enter that into GoogleMaps, it comes up in Mongolia instead of Montana (no kidding). How do I format lat/long so Google maps understands it?

There’s probably settings in google maps to change the units used to what you’re using.
