I tried to search for this issue, but didn't find anything on it. I apologize if it has already been addressed. Does anyone know why the Picture Gallery trims my Coordinates when I put them in? It seems to be rounding to the thousandths place. I guess it's not a huge deal. At that resolution, you are within 200 feet or so, but it seems like if your device has the accuracy, or you can geocode it accurately enough, the digits should remain. |

Try again now. How many digits do you need?

I think that 6 significant digits is sufficient. At 7 significant, you are talking differences of less than 4 inches. in other words the distance from 47.0000000, -100.0000000 to 47.0000009, -100.0000009 is about 3 or 4 inches Thanks again for following up, and fixing it. |
