Molecular precision unnecessary in Webtools coordinate sharing #270

Closed jidanni closed 3 months ago

jidanni commented 4 months ago

In Tools > Webtools > OSM https://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=39.874057805453099&lon=-87.593172512904175&zoom=15

Perhaps molecular precision. Maybe some of it could be donated to https://github.com/viking-gps/viking/issues/234 ?! :-)

I notice OSM now seems to use a precision related to the zoom level (either rounding off the unnecessary precision - or adding more 0s if necessary). Nevertheless, passing on 6 decimal places for all web service usage should be adequate.
