Nextel vs. Accutracking Duh!!!

Because they continue to find turn off the Accutracking application, I am now forced to use Nextel's mislocation incapability. I compare the two locations reading at the same time (until they turn accutracing off) and it shows the following:

Nextel = 32? 22' 42" 86? 11' 59"

Accutracking = -86.20034, 32.37841


My question is, how can I convert the reading from Nextel to look like the readings from Accutracting so that I can input the information into a good mapping service like Keyhole? Bmack...

Is there a way to lock the program so they cant turn it off? That sounds like what is needed.
