Please compare the following two urls: http://maps.google.com.hk/maps?q=23.1048,113.7581+(hcg+road+map)&t=m&z=15&hl=en http://maps.google.com.hk/maps?q=23.1075,113.7527+(hcg+satellite+map)&t=k&z=15&hl=en
The first url is a road map and the second url is a satellite map. They point to the same point where I want the marker to point to, but you may have noticed the lat and long values of the two urls are different! Hmmm... still no clue about this!
