For the car application, the interest would be in the accuracy of road placement, it doesn't matter at all if the coast is wrong. You'd need to look to see how the roads line up, I don't think this is actually a 'shift' of an otherwise accurate map, its an approximation of features that aren't of much interest to road users. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
