With high resolution coordinates, always state the map-datum otherwise the coordinates are meaningless. The Google-maps coordinates are likely WGS-84 as that is most widely used today. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, Cospar 4352 Leiden, the Netherlands, 52.15894 N, 4.48883 E (WGS84), +5 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com e-mail: meteorites@dmsweb.org ----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
