Hello, I've been searching for answers on this everywhere, apologies
if it has been posted on here already but I cannot find a discussion
about this.
I am grabbing the coords from a twitter feed and inputting them into a
google map plugin on a website, below is the code I'm using...
The problem is that only rarely the point on the map actually matches
the location where the user tweeted from, some times being up to half
a mile out.
I'm trying to figure out at what stage the coordinates become wrong.
Is it the tweeting iPhone/android that has an unreliable GPS? is it
twitter? is it google maps?
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

$data = json_decode($json, false);
$lat = $data->status->geo->coordinates[0];
$lon = $data->status->geo->coordinates[1];
echo SGMprintmap($lat,$lon,"18","TERRAIN",null,null);
(SGMprintmap is from a plug for WP:
