Description
Using the Location: GPS (German: Standort (GPS)) experiment and the tab ‘Simple’ (‘Einfach’), Phyphox displays numerous values as follows:
Among other things, values for latitude (“Breitengrad”), longitude (“Längengrad”), and direction (“Richtung”) are displayed. They all have the unit degrees (°).
The issue I see here is that there is a space between the value and the degree sign. Although spaces are compulsory between values and virtually any other unit (including °C), degrees that do not indicate temperature—as well as units denoted by primes (′) or seconds/doubleprimes (″)—instead must not have a space between value and unit sign. Cf. the SI Brochure, section 5.4.3 p. 149:
The numerical value always precedes the unit and a space is always used to separate the unit from the number. […] The only exceptions to this rule are for the unit symbols for degree, minute and second for plane angle, °, ′ and ″, respectively, for which no space is left between the numerical value and the unit symbol.
