Describe the bug
I tried the "share position" icon. The position displayed used a somewhat odd format using "Degrees Decimal Minutes", i.e.
N ##° ##,###,E###° ##,###
((# is a digit) two blanks after N, a leading zero after E, " mark for fractional minutes missing, , being used for decimal point (German locale) and as separator between N and E)

Using "Decimal degrees" the output is odd, too: ##.#####,##.##############"
(.is used as decimal point, and a variable number of fractional digits is given, also no N or E indicator)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. press the icon to share a position
  2. Select "Degrees Decimal Minutes"

Expected behavior

  • Either use ,as decimal point, or use ., but don't mix.
  • Use a different character for decimal point and number separator.
  • Either add all unit flags, or add none.
  • Either add basic direction letters (N, S, E, W) for all formats, or add none.
  • Either use leading spaces for numbers or use leading zeroes, but don't mix.
  • There is little use trying to align columns when sharing a single line.
  • Limit the number of fractional digits (1° is rather roughly 100km, so 0.00001° is about one meter). Having more than six fractional digits for degrees makes no sense with current and foreseeable technology.

Observed behavior
See description above.

App, Device and Android version:

Oppo Find X5-Lite (CPH2371) running SolorOS 13.1 (January patch) and gpstest v3.10.3 (24097-google)
