<p>for coordinates the decimal point is normally used, at least in Swedish and German?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Not in the normal environment. See here an example of an coordinate at a <a href="https://wohnglueck.de/service/fertighaus/haus/viebrockhaus-vertriebs-gmbh-and-co-betrieb-kg/maxime-300" rel="nofollow">residential house</a>:<br>

<p>Or is the problem here that we'd using comma both as the decimal point and to separate the coordinates, thereby confusing programs like Gramps that try to parse a coordinate pair?</p>

<p>... but in the computer environment you find more software products which does not support the three commas.</p>
