Adding a number to Lat/Long

[Chatauqua560]

I read the info in Marc’s puzzle topics but still confused as to how it is done. I looked at FizzyCalc and one other free program but that only confused me more.

If a L/L for a cache is given as N 44 42.492 W 088 02.795 and the puzzle solve requires you to add 901 to the Lat. and 933 to the Long. would the corrected L/L be N 44 43.393 W 088 03.628?????

I didn’t verify the math, but it looks like how I would do it. Basically caring the “1” and add it to the minutes.

Could be either way. One of Mark’s previous puzzles, you did not carrie the one and just dropped it.
