My problem is that I can't import precise (to 3 decimal places) Northing and
Easting coordinates into R.  The data were taken on a ProMark3 GPS unit,
with the intent of obtaining extremely precise GPS coordinates.
Post-processing was done correctly, and the resulting Northings and Eastings
were to 3 decimal places.  However, every attempt I've made to import them
into R (scan, read.table, read.delim, read.dbf via FOREIGN package, and I
also the tried maptools package) results in the exact same thing - the
Northings column is shown to 1 decimal place, and the Eastings column has no
decimal places.  In other words, I read in the data using one of many
different import options, and then view the data after import - and all the
precision has been eliminated.

Has anyone else encountered this problem, and/or can anyone offer a
solution?  I've spend an inordinate amount of time on this problem, with no
luck.

Thanks,

Drew
