Now I've noticed quite a few folks falling off the shore, and into a nearby rivers and canals. Which unless you are living on a boad - is propably not quite correct. So I'd love to know if that is projection issue; or a true issue with the location you entered.
I see people talking about co-ordinate precision of less than 100 metres. So how are they determining their position? Do they each have a differential GPS in their pocket? If someone has some clever facility to determine an accurate position, then please tell us.
Differential GPS is no longer needed, they have withdrawn the intentional unaccuracy in 2000, I think (except that the DOD will inject errors in the system when they need it, maybe in the next few weeks).
My GPS (a modern cheap Garmin eTrex), averaged during a whole night up in my house drifted no more than 5m around. This is consistent with the positioning in the map, now that I have entered six figures in my data.
The Northern Hemisphere could have more satellites round, thus better coverage, because there is more people (I got amazed with the population density map) and more economic activity. But I'm not sure there is a difference in precision between Spain and Australia.
WRT Mozilla, I'm seeing it with Mozilla 1.1, no problem (except that when you click it takes a while for the layers to stabilize, with a not so nice visual effect).
