Add a format=dec4 function to output decimal degrees rounded to four places from data entered as either DMS or higher precision DEC format. The [[Geographical Names Board of Canada|Canadian Geographical Names Database]], [[Geographic Names Information System]], and [[Ordinance Survey]] provide ___location information with seven decimal degrees of precision. The dec4 format will permit the input data to be checked with the original data source while displaying the more reasonable and compact four decimal degrees of precision (+/- 10 m).
