Scientific notation. It means an exponent and it's used to simplify very large or very small numbers.

-6.79776e+006 = -6.79776 * 10^6

Sounds like your world is huge!
What's the average size of your models?

The reason I ask is because scale is a very flexible thing in 3D coding. Perhaps if you just scaled all of your objects down, and speeds accordingly, you could avoid such astronomical numbers.
