Recently I managed to create my own map and placed a symbol in it from a
database.

Now I need to place several points in the map. My database contains gps
coordinates like this:

4216 9669 259

Latitude: 42º 16'N
Longitude: 258ºE

I translated this gps coordinates to UTM coordinates to obtain:

Zone: 14
Easting: 252608
Norting: 4683531

I need to show this point in the map.

Someone could explain my how to do it? Thank you.

My present .map file is:
