This is entirely correct, but I would go a little deeper.  You do not
say what program you are using to down-load data from the GPS.
First, see if you can set the output format to decimale degrees.
Second, try gpsbabel, http://www.gpsbabel.org/

Gpsbabel has a large number of output formats. I mostly use it to
produce KML files directly.
