Hi, I'm trying to enter the below longitude and latitude into Google Maps but having a few issues with the format.

Lat. 46 + 23S, Lon. 115 + 22E

I tried entering it into Google Maps but so far, no luck. It was taken from an old diary so I think I may need to change the format somehow.

Can anyone help?

It's actually fairly easy, just enter it as a latitude,longitude pair, ie 46.38S,115.36E (which is in the middle of the ocean). You'll want to convert it to decimal though (divide the minutes portion by 60 and add it to the degrees [I've done that with your example]).
