Lat/Long's shift?

I'm currently attempting to make an ERAM facility file, and have run into quite the interesting problem. When using lat/longs from the Euroscope .sct2 and .ese file for things like runway centerlines and radar sites, they are offset by about 21nm from where they are supposed to be located. So I'm not sure if the Geo Maps are offset, or if the radar sites are offset, as I didn't have this issue in the other facility file I have made. Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks

Are you using the GeoMapSetEditor.exe to import the coordinates?

I used that for the geomaps, and I used the control F function for adding radar sites.

Did you convert DMS to Decimal?
