Currently the Latitude and Longitude inputs show greater decimal length than their database column type allows them to store accurately.

This is confusing for users, because they can see a value such as 168.112442 in the Latitude, but then not be able to actually set a value like 168.112443 in that same field.

Changing to a decimal column type with a fixed accuracy that is stated upfront would be preferable.
