@ascherbaum Have you tried changing the angel units in Map View Settings? https://docs.digikam.org/en/setup_application/geolocation_settings.html#map-view-settings

@ascherbaum @anderslund Do you use Digikam on a Mac? Apple Maps also outputs this strange format (N & E is not required for WGS 84).

Only guessing: Although Digikam uses OSM, the coordinates or their formatting may be generated by the operating system.

Edit: I missed your first hashtag. Nevertheless, it may be worth considering whether the problem lies outside of Digikam.
