Hi

I am collecting local POI's for the TOM TOM and am doing this by using the postal address and streetmap.co.uk co-ordinates conversion facility and am then entering the results in excel, however I have a question regarding the co-ordinates:

Does the TOM TOM require 5 or 6 decimal points on the co-ordinates or does this not matter?

Thanks in advance

I don't think it matters, but TT uses 5.

If you round the figures that you get from Streetmap it will still be very accurate.

It's a long time ago now but I think that if you use 6, the last one gets dropped - 52.456789 become 52.45678
