You don't say where you are finding the coordinates in the URL. Obviously they are not the numbers you're copying! The Yahoo! geocoder is different from Google's and is very likely to provide different results. You need to use something which will actually provide the right coordinates, such as John's http://maps.huge.info/pinpointaddress.htm -- you can extract the coordinates from the link generated, or alter his code to output the coordinates to the page.
