A quick look at the Garmin website shows that the Garmin should understand the three different ways of writing the lon/lat. There are two written above. The number in brackets is the lon/lat in purely fractional terms. Probably the easiest to remember. Dont forget the minus sign on the latitude else it will put you somewhere in China!
The first value is really (for latitude) 35 degrees, 19 minutes and 41 seconds south of the equator and the longitude 150 degrees, 27 minutes and 44 seconds east of the prime meridian.
Hope this makes sense.
