[Openstreetmap-dev] Server is truncating lat/lon values?

[Mikel Maron]

The Float object in Ruby is actually a double..

"Float objects represent real numbers using the native   architecture's double-precision floating point representation."

Hi,

I have the strong evidence that the server is rounding my uploaded lat/lon
values... >:-)

Is it possible, that values are rounded somewhere in the import process?
What is the precision of latitude and longitude values? 32-bit-float? Or
64-bit-double?

Ciao, Imi.
