Try reading the Posting Guide, and post in plain text (your data is corrupted by the HTML). Then read [1] and use dput to provide the data as you have it in R.

The solution will involve parsing out the pieces of the coordinates and converting them to decimal degrees, but we don't really know how it is currently formatted.
