Blynk+Sim900 shield + NEO 6M + Arduino UNO

Today I’ve done some tests with MAP widget, but actually it’s not working as expected.
So…
The first problem - maps.google.com shows a little different place than blynk Android app with the same coordinates :open_mouth: for about few hundred meters. Strange.

When I read V1 value with RESTful API, I get something like “1\u000056.970\u000021.977\u0000444”,
but in sketch was hardcoded lat=56.970159, lon=21.977929.
Why acuracy is reduced? Why are there leading zeros and lost decimals after point? Is this cause float value type, arduino or widget?
What is the V1 format actually?

Please send it as double or format numbers to strings manually to get desired precision.

TNX! Seems it works.
