I am fishing my first tournament this weekend and will be using my Lowrance Hook 2 5X Split Shot GPS fish finder for the first time as well.
I've done some research in preparation and have coordinates of certain areas of the lake that I will prioritize. I would like to save these spots as waypoints that I can then navigate to on Tournament day but my problem is as follows:
The coordinates I have are in this format: 41°24'12.2"N 2°10'26.5"E
My Lowrance Fishfinder seems to use this format: 41 24.2028, 2 10.4418
I checked on Google Maps and both of the coordinates above are exactly the same - they are just in two different formats.
Does anyone know how to convert the first waypoint format into the other ?
Please let me know if there is some type of coordinate format converter website that does this or let me know if I can provide more information here if it's not clear. Thank you so much !

P.S. I called Lowrance Technical Support and they told me I can only drop a waypoint on the water but when I got off the phone with them I was playing around with my fishfinder in my home and I was able to create a waypoint for my house AND I am able to edit the coordinates and then save it. I just need to know how to convert the coordinate format I have (41°24'12.2"N 2°10'26.5"E) into the coordinate format that Lowrance seems to use (41 24.2028, 2 10.4418)
