There is no way that using degrees , minutes and seconds your seconds should be 7478.

seconds can only be 0 to 60 just like a clock.

This might help.

Ok but what exactly do I copy over after I get my longitude and latitude which is
 
25.771319

-80.248864

Keep getting (Minutes can be between 0 and 59)

Decimal 25.771319 = 25° 46' 16.7478"
Decimal -80.248864 = -80° 14' 55.9098"

You can reduce the " decimal places if the field doesn't allow 4.

So exactly what do I enter? There are six boxes.

Did you look at the converter I sent you?

You enter just as the other post says

25  46  16

80  14   55


that is six boxes


Notice W vs E       If you get it wrong you will be in Turkestan

I would round the seconds up to 16   and 56.
