For the boat launch area off of RT 286 (1198? Bethel Rd), Chesapeake City, MD 21915), I get coordinates (approximate):
39°31'33.5"N, 75°48'21.6"W
You can copy/paste those coordinates into Google Maps or www.gmap-pedometer.com and it should show you the map point. At the least, the map should be centered on that coordinate when you zoom in.

I rechecked my GPS way point And I read
N39deg 31min,30sec
W075deg,48min 17 sec
These should put you a the parking lot.
I suggest that postings to the Forum use the simplest format for longitude and latitude - signed decimal pairs to 4 places.
39.5259, -75.8060 for the above boat ramp
Entries of such pairs into Google and other online maps will give best results.
==>Ride Start for 39.5259, -75.8060
The use of degree, minute, second characters are difficult for most keyboards.

Re: Format for Longitude and Latitdue
I can get the lat/long pairs via VZNavigator, too. I use it to find ride starts all of the time. Once I scroll to the location that I want lat/long data for, I select that point, and have it send "Place Information" to my email address. In this case, what gets emailed to me (or, if I need to, email to someone else, like in case of emergency) is the the decimal point convention.
2011 mileage=17,344 miles;2012 mileage=11,414 miles; 2013 mileage=12,169 miles; 2014 mileage=5,156 miles; 2015 mileage=6,200 miles; 2016 mileage=17,503 miles; 2017 mileage=4,454 miles;2018 mileage=6,749 miles;2019 mileage=4,139 miles;
