[idvdevelopers] bug in LatLonWidget.setLat() and setLon()

Hi Guys --

I've noticed a bug setting latitude and longitude in LatLonWidget.Using MSG as an example, setting the center

   lat = 0.00904604
   lon = -0.00898543

results in
   lat = 9.0
   lon = -8.0

I think the error lies in decoding using Misc.decodeLatLon(9E-3).

Thanks -- Gail
