Coordinates on Label

This specimen's coordinates indicate a range for the minutes.  Would I indicate a halfway point between the two minutes noted? So, for example, for 48'-49', would I indicate 48.5'?

    Good question! For the sake of making the GPS coordinates mappable (which cannot accept ranges), you may input the data at the halfway point of the range (e.g., "48.5" when the range is "48-49").
