Appropriate datatype for Latitude and Longitude in SQL Server

I need to store Latitude and Longitude data in SQL Server.  
The data comes from Google in the following format: xxx.xxxxxx.

I was thinking of using DECIMAL(9,6).
Is this accurate enough for subsequent distance and other calculations?

Thanks,
Graig.
