Police concerned with Apple iOS 6 mapping system
Unless you really think the police were being precise to within a meter (Google says .001 mile =~ 1.6 meters), it's "about 115F" and "about 40 miles", respectively. (Got a bit unlucky on the miles, I'd also consider "about 45".)

You generally shouldn't increase the number of significant digits by more than one anyway, even if you are after a precise measurement.
