Description
This is an issue reported on mw.o which I think will be a nice enhancement:
I 'm wondering why the coordinates are so long: 14 numbers for latitude/longitude while only 6 would be enough for precision (cf. older version of Google Maps extension). As a result, when you draw long lines or add many points, the size of the page becomes too heavy.
Would it be possible to shorten them?
For instance:
47.254301,-1.679535instead of47.25430126476208,-1.67953552941873
