EUDR GeoJSON warning: coordinates have fewer than 6 decimal places
The regulation requires geolocation to at least six decimal digits — roughly 0.1 metres. Rounded coordinates can misplace a plot.
What the check requires
A warning — it does not block submission, but it can cause real problems downstream.
Why files fail this check
Spreadsheets are the usual culprit: Excel and CSV exports often round coordinates to four or five decimals, which moves a point by up to tens of metres. Some GPS apps and converters trim digits too.
A misplaced plot is worse than a rejected one — a due diligence statement anchored to the wrong land is a legal problem, not a formatting problem. That is why this check exists even though low precision does not always block submission.
How it gets fixed
This is the one defect no honest tool can repair: adding decimal digits would fabricate accuracy the measurement never had, and a repair must never move a plot. The engine warns and stops there — by design.
Go back to the source that captured the coordinates and export at full precision. In spreadsheets, format coordinate columns to keep all decimals before saving as CSV.
