Set your angle units to Surveyor's Units.
Command: aunits (hit enter then type 4, enter)

Apperently my syntex is wrong then, what you recomand is just what I did.
When I input the values it gave me an error message &quot;Point or option key required&quot;. What I want is @1460.6'<N89d43;56&quot;W
Can you offer anything ferther?
 
There is a syntex error in my last post, should be
@1460.0'N89d43'56&quot;W
 
Leave off the foot symbol, just @1460<n89d43'56&quot;w
You can use the foot symbol if in architectural or engineering units.
