Re Damia Soler's Sundial Location Calculator - what a great tool!
One small point - if I put in a UK postcode for the address, the
resulting satellite picture seems to be a little way (a mile or so?)
away, whereas normally the location found by Google maps is more or less
exactly correct (at least where the postcode covers a small area as in a
town).
Secondly, does anyone know how accurate (in the UK) the lat/long figures
this technique gives are? How does the uncertainty relate to say a
minute or a second of longitude or latitude? Does anyone have some
clearly identifiable locations around the country with very accurately
known positions on which one could check this?
