Hi, sorry if this has been posted before in here, I can't seem to find
anyone posting about this particular setup:
I have a website with a google map which is retrieving the coords from
a twitter's latest status, however the location of the google map
rarely matches the location of where the user tweeted from, sometimes
being half a mile off in a random direction.
What is this due by?
Here is the code I'm using:
$twfeed = @file_get_contents('http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show/
taimmobile.json');
if($json){
$data = json_decode($twfeed, false);
$lat = $data->status->geo->coordinates[0];
$lon = $data->status->geo->coordinates[1];
echo "<div id='map'><h3>Where are we?</h3><BR>".SGMprintmap($lat,
$lon,"18","TERRAIN",null,null)."</div>";
}
(SGMprintmap is a function taken from a WP plug:
https://svn.wp-plugins.org/simple-google-map/trunk/simple-google-map.php)
