Re: [ATM] Equatorial platforms, 1 rpm motors, and First light



Google Earth and similar programs rely on geocoding 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocoding) information provided by 
third-parties. Trouble is, some addresses are geocoded incorrectly, and my 
home in San Jose is such an example: the computed location actually points 
about 6 houses down the street eastward. This was confirmed by a handheld 
GPS unit. Not that it matters that much...
