Description

Enter 1°23'45.6789" 1°23'45.6789", play around with the precisions and be surprised.

Precision 10° results in 1°23'45.6789000001"N, 1°23'45.6789000001"E.
Precision 1° results in 1°23'45.7"N, 1°23'45.7"E.

Thats the number of decimal places for the seconds. I'm confused. Wasn't the definition of "precision" that it's a degree value?
