[Gpsbabel-misc] Decimal output precision

[Mark S. <mst...@od...>]

I just got MacGPSBabel 1.2.3 and got some way-points off a Garmin 12.  
Works great!

I did notice tho that PGPX XML (and other) decimal way-point output 
looks like something this:

    <wpt lat="43.038908" lon="-121.614001">
    <wpt lat="43.042341" lon="-121.613476">

While other (Windows) software creates output something like this:

    N45.4182100 W122.2307164 Tue Sep 21 21:31:00 2004
    N45.4183012 W122.2359575 Tue Sep 21 21:52:00 2004

(these aren't the from same dataset/GSP unit)

In essence, the internal precision seems to be at least 7 decimal 
digits where MacGPSBabel returns 6 (others seemed to retrieve only 5).

So, more = better right?  Can I get more?  How?

Thanks, Mark
