How to maintain decimal precision in calculations

Question

I need to sum 2 decimal values together, then divide by 2 and convert to string.

My calculation currently is trimming to 2 decimal places, but I want to keep as many decimals as I can.

city.Latitude = ( (lat.North + lat.South) / 2 ).ToString();

the values for lat.North and lat.South are like: 55.32342322

See here:

You probably want to specify a "G" or "F" format specifier in this overload of the ToString() method.
