Problems with using coordinates in GoogleMaps

tilkjaer · 04-30-2010, 11:46 AM

Hi,

Just returned from Italy and entered my eXplorist200 coordinates into GoogleMaps and GoogleEarth but the map comes up with positionings 100-200 meters wrong. Why? Any help?

google has "new an improved" thier mapping service and it is very innacturate as of lately. I have tried the same thing using garmin's coo-ords. and no luck. it is off every time. I hope they fix this. I hate this becuase I have a friend that works in proprty surveying and this annoys them. they went back to using thier old software. google earth used to be better.
