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...
