Correct. Which has been highlighted to Donald. The GPS coords are converted to floats thereby introducing imprecision and he reports them unrounded.
Having an undergrad degree in the sciences (with a grad degree in engineering), I'm very familiar with Paul's "lab accident"
characterization, which I appreciate, since credibility of good results is
all that I care for.
Hence, I've modified the two scripts to produce both the ORIGINAL data
found in Apple's highly insecure WPS database that computers use, and the GPS-lookup-usable conversions to decimal places that humans use.
Here is a snippet of the results when looking up this particular BSSID
which happens to be located in Chris Hayes Recreation Center in Mooetown Park in Shreveport, Louisiana, near the Shreveport Regional Airport

Enter the BSSID: 00:18:f8:c1:4a:65
You'll get a map of where that AP is in that building, plus a listing
of up to 400 nearby access point locations (which fermium can map en masse).
Enter the BSSID (or q to quit): 00:18:f8:c1:4a:65 -----------------------------------------------

:: Changelog:
:: v1p0 20251205 - Query Apple's highly insecure WPS database
:: v1p1 20251214 - Saves to time-date stamped results.txt log file
:: v1p2 20251215 - Timestamp results.txt so it's not overwritten
:: v1p3 20251219 - Limit to 6 decimal places (as per Chris/Paul/Tyrone)
:: v1p4 20251219 - Show original raw integers + converted decimals
:: v1p5 20251219 - Tried to accomodate Google Maps query to new format
:: v1p6 20251219 - Changed to block-aware parsing with debug output
:: v1p7 20251219 - Enable delayed expansion to fix parsing inside loops
