My understanding is that 5 digits after the decimal comma correspond to 1.1m precision and no device can measure higher precision. This is shown in the table at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_degrees#Precision .

This will change the description on the location field. But the Map picker is going to give 14 decimal places. A similar issue should be filed on MainUI to limit the precision returned by the map picker or else the description will not map what the picker returns, potentially causing confusion concerning the discrepancy.
