GPS coordinates and web export

I am testing copy-pasting GPS coordinates from our web interface to
dive sites and ran into a problem as these coordinates are not parsed
properly. When I grab coordinates from a dive site in Bonaire, that is
parsed to be in the middle of Burkina Faso in Africa. Not very nice if
we cannot parse our own coordinates. This occurs both with the
coordinates directly from our generated web page (cloud) and if
opening the google maps link and using the notation there (both these
formats: 12° 8' 0.24" , -68° 16' 58.44" and 12.148000,-68.311500).

It also looks like I am not able to actually save the coordinates from
the location management, they are blank when I re-open the location
management and my saved XML does not have them on the dive site. Also
the relationship between the dive location on the Notes pane and what
is entered when clicking on the location management icon next to it
seems quite flimsy or even broken. Adding data to these fields does
not seem to reflect the other mode.
