It is a little strange seeing so many decimals when viewing metric. But oh well. That isn't terrible. Better to have more decimals than too few.
That is why I say they need to add more decimals to the Latitude and Longitude

Maybe they'll fix this to change the number of decimals when viewing Metric units. Maybe not....this is not a priority. Better to have more than less. The UI would need to implement different number of decimals depending on units used.

I'm also seeing decimals for wind speed in the large graphics. That is new right? Its hard for me to remember because I only recently started using the new WU site since being forced to from the recent shutdown of the old WU site.

That may be a bit more difficult since they appear to only be using two decimal degrees resolution on the "new and improved" geolocation, which is essentially useless in areas with a high density of PWS operating.

I just a couple days ago tested creating a new station ID. I used the manual method and I was able to use 6 decimal degrees.

They are (apparently) only using two for geolocation regardless of how many they give you.  It may plot the PWS at the correct location on a map but the accuracy when looking one up is still bad.

I agree. I moved that Trello card back to the current issues to be fixed. It deceived me at first. Convoluted mess of a setup for a new station.
