   If you understood the code you'd know that the WPS DB returns the lat/lon   
   as a 64bit integer and the python script converts into a float with a   
   simple multiplication  of 1e-8. Anything beyond the 8th dp is noise.   
      
   So what you claim as being exactly what is in the Apple WPS db is factually   
   incorrect. Yet again.
