> The closer I am, the better the result seems to be. Well, yes. The mouse pointer position can only be determined within one pixel of the displayed map. As you zoom in, one pixel comes to represent a smaller and smaller area.
The maps ARE different between zoom levels too. Map-making is an artform, not an exact representation of the earth's surface. For example, a red dot represent a city may measure tens of km across when zoomed out and rather smaller as you zoom in. Plus you are measuring your lat/longs to a ridiculous precision. 5 or 6 decimal places represents an accuracy of about 10m - you can throw all the lesser digits away because the base maps certainly aren't that accurate. cheers, Ross K --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
