Geolocation type QR code badly parsed by Locus.

Solved

PROBLEM:


Locus is drastically reducing precision in read Geolocation QR code, which results in hundreds of meters (and possibly more) difference of coordinates.


HOW TO RECREATE:


Scan this QR code:


You should get these coordinates:


51.123456, 21.042


After loading them in Locus, a point is created at coordinates:


51.123456, 21.04!


EXPLANATION:


It looks like the last digit is cut off. So if the input QR coordinates would be 21.049, Locus would interpret them also as 21.04. I also checked that 21.0423 is rounding a output coordinates to 21.042. This service is good for testing: http://www.unitaglive.com/qrcode


Good luck.
