Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Most systems now use decimal degrees rather than dms format, decimal degrees also much easier to deal with if moving data around and plotting in other systems. Note that full resolution to sub metre accuracy needs to be kept given that this can be measured by dgps systems.  I reported the significant loss of resolution that used to happen in Lightroom with chopping off decimal places and it took them about 5 years to fix it, hopefully it is not an issue in digikam.

Do you want both notations or only decimal one ?

Comment 2 michael.dodd 2019-01-04 14:59:45 UTC

As far as I am concerned just decimal as that is much easier to handle.

Comment 3 Marcel 2020-06-20 10:13:30 UTC

I checked the current situation in Digikam 7.0.0. In the tab metadata/exif of an image, the lat and long values are in degree. It is the same unit as used directly by exif. In my opinion it is dangerous to do here same calculation. 

Anyway, in the tab map it is shown in decimal. 

Where exactly should the decimal value been used?

I don't currently have access to the machine with this software on (locked down) so can't give response
