Answer 1

What you see is just the default string representation with 6 decimal places. You can set you own display format option with

pd.options.display.float_format = '{:.10f}'.format

to show 10 places. Alternatively you can confirm the number if you look at the result of say df.loc[1,'lng'].

To set the option only temporarily you can use an option context:

with pd.option_context('display.float_format', '{:.10f}'.format):
    print(df)
