The "true_or_false" is part of an example query found here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/index.html#KML
still unsure if it is correct. The correct town coordinates I found on geo hack: http://stable.toolserver.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Truro,_Nova_Scotia¶ms=45_21_53_N_63_16_48_W_type:city(11765)_region:CA-NS then plotted them with this to verify: http://www.gorissen.info/Pierre/maps/googleMapLocation.php?lat=45.364722&lon=-63.28&setLatLon=Set The API geocoder returns the correct lat/lon however it is not the same as the results from the HTTP service query, I do not understand why they are different. - Craig On Apr 30, 11:03 am, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > On Apr 30, 6:31 am, curious_reverse_geocoder <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > I am not certain if this is an issue with the geocoding service or > > that way I have invoked it but this is my issue: When doing a reverse > > geocode with the following query: > > >http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?output=xml&oe=utf8&sensor=tru_or_fals... > > true_or_false? probably not correct... > > > > > I wish to plot the "Truro, NS, Canada" (placemark id=3) on a globe, > > however, the lat/lon that I receive > > "<coordinates>-63.7954121,45.0193583,0</coordinates>" is not the > > correct lat/lon of Truro NS Canada (correct is: 45.364722, -63.28). > > How do you define the correct coordinates of a town?
