Thanks to all who joined in to help me with the problem. I appreciate it. I got to thinking that since I'm using the exact same set up on another site that works fine that maybe the problem was in the actual setup of the event within the Wordpress event-manager. I deleted the location and re-entered it and now all works fine.
Thanks again, Randy (a.k.a. purposeman) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Schneider Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2009 10:56 AM To: Google Maps API Subject: Re: TerraServer EPSG:4326 lat/long precision Thanks for the quick response, Rossko! I'm no expert either, but the problems described in these two links would seem to be dependent on the scale of the maps being rendered. As John Deck admits in his text, "The interesting thing is that if we were to zoom in on a particular portion of the world, the boundaries would line up." Since I'm rendering maps at such high resolution, I would not expect the projection conversion being done by TerraServer (from EPSG:4326 to UTM) to introduce the positional error I am seeing. More importantly, my application does not require that four such points be rendered as a rectangle by both engines. That said, I am expecting my latitude and longitude coordinates to be rendered properly by Google Maps as well. As mentioned in my original email, these coordinates come from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), which claims them to be NAD83. I had expected that such coordinates would be placed correctly when sent directly into the Google Maps APIs, and when sent to the TerraServer as EPSG:4326.

Those sources seem to suggest thatEPSG:41xx would be closer, if still inaccurate? No virus found in this incoming message.
