A word of caution here: Don't trust Google maps coordinates for any
technical / serious work, they can have errors in the 100´s meter
class. And also don't use the copyright date of the maps and images as
a time reference, they normally are older than that. If you live in an
area under urban development you can check what I mean.
Take in account that this is a beautiful thing for locating a restaurant
or a route, and can be classified as a geomarketing tool, not a
measuring one.
You can verify this yourself easily comparing your GPS antenna location
with the coordinates given by the program and also looking for roads,
etc. mismatches in the image seams.
I had to explain this a lot of times to guys trying to do shortcuts for
technical projects.

Hello Antonio,
Looking at the aerial photographs on Google Maps, the transmitter
building can be seen at 54.91224°N, 3.27831°W - nearer Cardurnock than
Anthorn! Which are the actual aerial masts though, I don't know.
Might I suggest you contact Peter Whibberley at the National Physical
Laboratory (peter.whibberley (at) npl . co . uk) - if he can't tell
you, he will certainly know who can!
Regards,
Peter Vince

Greetings to the group.
I would like to have the exact (and trustworthy...) WGS84 coordinates
of the Anthorn Loran-C antenna. Searching the net I got at least three
different sets of LAT/LONG. It seems to me that exactitude is not a cult
anymore, except for us the nutties...
I would also appreciate to have the exact Coding Delay for that transmitter.
(Not the Emission Delay, which is known to be 27,300.00 uS).
Thanks in advance.
