The map on twitter shows 34th street.
Can't tell what the original data is, though. The coordinates which the words "Garment District" link to are 40.750233,-73.987790, which is Broadway and 34th Street. Are those the coordinates which their phone sent? Does Tweetdeck do things to the coordinates? Without a positive trail from phone to website, it's not possible to say where the discrepancy is introduced. The only way to tell is with a known tweet from a known location and to compare the result with what the phone shows its position as. Even that data doesn't tie down where any inaccuracy is -- if it isn't the phone itself, you can't tell whether it's Tweetdeck which is getting it wrong or Twitter. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
