On the copyright of maps OpenStreetMap suggests:
Instead courts now instead look closely for evidence of originality in either the aesthetic choices made in rendering the map or in the selection of aspects
included. Note, however, that mere color choices or basic styling of components of the map are not themselves significant enough to warrant protection. [...] In instances when contributions come in the form of raw GPS paths, they are unlikely to be deemed independently copyrightable given that they are simply a set of GPS coordinates.
I don't see why the extra 6 digits of information should be regarded as aesthetic choices or selection of aspects of a map. They are more like the simple set of GPS coordinates.
