Coordinates problem

[Talonsin]

I am trying to visit the anomalies on Kerbin but driving there is taking way way too long. I decided to fly but I cant figure out the coordinates. An example is, one of the anomalies is listed on the map website at 35.5705:-74.9773 but when I look at the coordinates on the surface information tab of mechjeb, it shows me 6 two-digit numbers. I tried using the "land at" tab in mechjeb and putting in 35.57.05 -74.97.73 but it started heading out to the ocean and not in the direction of the place I wanted to go. Did I convert that number on the anomalies website correctly?

Pretty sure you need to convert from fractions of a degree to degree-minute-second form. There are 60 minutes to a degree and 60 seconds to a minute. You can use an on-line calculator to convert:

No. The website gives degrees as the first two numbers, and the minutes and seconds are listed after the decimal point in decimal format. You need to look at a conversion program (available on the net if you Google it) enter the decimal version of the coordinates, and it will give it to you in degrees, minutes and seconds, which is the format used by the game.
