[MLB-WIRELESS] New Node Coordinates?

Just added a new node for a mate in Kerry Rd Warranwood but something
isn't quite right with the coordinates. Locfinder shows him to be 43 km
from my place in Montrose (should be about 10-12)

I found the block on Vic MAp ok and the coordinates in the status bar
are 
37 46' 03" S and 145 15' 42" E

I checked another node in Warranwood BEA and they show Lat -37.7694 Long
145.2407

so this looks good and my theory is that the lat/long is made up of the
figures from the status bar  with a dot after the  forst 2 and the other
4 concatenated. 

Problem is most other nodes have a 7 digit figure rather than 6 and when
I add the node it ends up in the middle of nowhere. I can't tell from
the map but there aren't any roads and ther seem to be a few other
confused nodes out there as well eg Box Hill and Scoresby nodes. At
least I'm in Vic as it warns for non vic locations but its a bit lonely.

So if anyone can shed any light on what my correct coordinates are that
would be great and it might  help someone else to add it to the create
node page.
