Latitude & Longitude

Should I continue displaying latitude and longitude information for tracks
in the current decimal degrees format, or switch to GPS format? (i'll continue
keeping it internally in decimal degrees, this would just be a display tweak).
anyone have any opinion? any one care?

It's only relevant for people who want to enter them into a nav system or something similar I would think; what's the most common format there? Maybe whatever is shorter?

I've pretty much decided that it's a trivial use of bandwidth and page space, so i'm going to display both, something like

Latitude: xx.xxxxx
Longitude: -yy.yyyyy
GPS: N xx uu.vvv W yy rr.ttt
