ASP.NET MVC Form and double fields

I’m developing an asp.net mvc portal to manage GPS coordinates using localDB. My model is:

public class GpsCoordinateViewModel
{
    double Latitute { get; set; }
    double Longitude { get; set; }
}

the autogenerated adn related View to create a new GpsCoordinate is:

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Create";
}

<h2>Create</h2>
@using (Html.BeginForm()) {
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
    @Html.ValidationSummary(true)

<fieldset>
    <legend>GpsCoordinateViewModel</legend>

    <div class="editor-label">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Latitude)
    </div>
    <div class="editor-field">
        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Latitude)
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Latitude)
    </div>

    <div class="editor-label">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Longitude)
    </div>
    <div class="editor-field">
        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Longitude)
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Longitude)
    </div>
    <p>
        <input type="submit" value="Create" />
    </p>
</fieldset>

}

<div>
    @Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")
</div>

@section Scripts {
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}

the problem is that when I insert as Latitude: 41.213321 and Longitude: 12.123432 (eg), using breakpoin local values are: Latitude: 41213321 Longitude: 12123432.
I need to use double because of location’s accuracy, but how?

I also read this questions :
How should I use EditorFor() in MVC for a currency/money type?

MVC3 – 3 decimal places on type double with leading zero

but the solutions didn’t work for me.
Any suggestion?

EDIT:
My webconfig is:

<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
  <add path="*" verb="*" type="System.Web.HttpNotFoundHandler"/>
</httpHandlers>

<!--
    Enabling request validation in view pages would cause validation to occur
    after the input has already been processed by the controller. By default
    MVC performs request validation before a controller processes the input.
    To change this behavior apply the ValidateInputAttribute to a
    controller or action.

<pages
    validateRequest="false"

Method 1

Might be caused by cultureinfo, some culture use , instead of . for decimal separator. try setting the following in web.config,

<system.web>
    <globalization culture="en-US" uiCulture="en-US" />
</system.web>

hope this helps

Method 2

Well then, Use the String as a DataType and Parse it as a Decimal value Later from the Controller.

Method 3

Use Decimal Instead of Double as Your Data Type, and That might Help.

public class GpsCoordinateViewModel
{
    decimal Latitute { get; set; }
    decimal Longitude { get; set; }
}
