Hi,

I've been comparing a GPS coord on a Google Maps API driven site
versus the Google Maps website and I'm receiving two different
results. From what I can see the Google website is correct, and the
API is within the general location. Is there a way to fix this issue?

I've managed to validate this across the Google Maps API Demo, so I'd
conclude it isn't a mistake in the code (but I have been wrong in the
past!).

GPS Location:
37 59'19 N, 119 18'22 W

Google Search translates this GPS location to:
+37° 59' 19.00", -119° 18' 22.00"

Correct location using Google Maps website:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=37+59%2719+N,+119+18%2722+W&sll=37.988611,-119.306111&sspn=0.007644,0.016522&g=37+59%2719+N,+119+18%2722+W&ie=UTF8&ll=37.917659,-119.307404&spn=0.489688,1.057434&z=11&iwloc=A

Using API #1 - incorrect, general area:

Using API #2 - my code, same result as example #1 (Scroll down to Camp

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
