Lars,
Yes I agree the number of decimal places is not a reflection of the accuracy of the position but merely the way the information is stored in the database. I suspect that this +/-0.5 precision is the probable source of the mislabelling of Chart 12409. It should be noted however that the USGS position is 0.7 miles north of its true position so they could have done a bit better,
Regards,
Robin
