How do you read these map coordinates

Go figure? This is a message in ATO re a TF sighting. The portion of the message that I cannot decipher is in bold.

Long 15 57" W270, Lat 67 39" N000, Course E090.

I'm guessing that is 15' 57" West, 67' 39" North.

Don't ask me why they display them that way.

At first I thought you were wasting my time. :damn: On second thought, it could be the correct answer.

Good point. 270 is due west, and of course 000 is north.

I have had a few more contacts that have displayed similar information, and now I am feeling pretty confident that Torpex has solved this issue I raised. Thank you.
