I was looking at bug reports on source forge.
viking changes coordinates when saving and exporting - ID: 2078424
This was submitted, 2008-08-27 08:34:28 MDT.
Initial latitude and longitude when manually added 38.603 -109.588 and
after being added 38.603000 -109.588000. I then saved the file and
closed viking. I reloaded the file and redislayed the way point
properties 38.603000 -109.588000. No changes, that we can see here.
I opened the file with a text editor, see the next line.
type="waypoint" latitude="38.603000000984537" longitude="-109.58799999996019"
name="002"
Saved the file a second time.
type="waypoint" latitude="38.603000000984537" longitude="-109.58799999996019"
name="002"
The values changed but only the first time. It looks like rounding errors, but
the values did not change after save.
The values stayed the same in the exported gpx as in the native viking file.
<wpt lat="38.603000000984537" lon="-109.58799999996019">
<name>002</name>
</wpt>
I do not know how much of an issue this is, but for me this is not an
issue. My GPSr is not anywhere close to being that accurate.
Hope this helps,
Mark
