The compound type ``struct minmea_float`` uses ``int_least32_t`` internally. Therefore,
the coordinate precision is guaranteed to be at least ``[+-]DDDMM.MMMMM`` (five decimal digits)

or ±2cm LSB at the equator. Note that GPS modules commonly only provide four deciminal digits
(``[+-]DDDMM.MMMM``), which equates to ±20cm (0.0001 minute is 0.0001/60 degrees and one degree
