Lat/Long decimal places

MarlboroughDistrict_Council — Wed, 03 Mar 2021 23:23:41 GMT

There is a small inconsistency when measuring WGS84 coordinates depending on the method used.

If using the Draw/Measure panel the lat/long come back with 6 decimal places.

If using the coordinates widget its only 2 decimal places. Can this be increased to 6 so they are the same?

Also one is displayed as lat/long and one as long/lat. Can they both be ordered long/lat as thats consistent with all the other coordinate measurements.

Hi @MarlboroughDistrict_Council hey so talking to the team here, the reason this is like this is because we have to set the decimal places as a global configuration for the co-ordinates widget. So in changing this from 2 to 6 it would affect other co-orindates systems will be affected (and may not make sense). So it can be done and we can let you know where and how but we won't likely be changing this for core.
