Hi, all,

I've been trying to use the Geolocation database, and find its
inaccuracy really quite a problem.

Using Autoroute (which is pretty accurate) as a reference, Salisbury,
my home town, is for example 15 miles west of where it is given;
Fowey, that lovely fishing port in Cornwall, is reported as 15 miles
Southeast into the English Channel!

I've also checked with www.maps.google.com as another thread
suggested. It confirms Autoroute to be correct.

I've looked at the data tables (the database is mildly passworded) and they
rely on Legacy to interpret them, so correcting them might be a
problem, even if I could understand their way of working. The Lat and
Long for Fowey, as an example, are given as 450834 (50.2 deg N) and
134418 (4.38 deg W), which I don't understand.

Comments and advice, please

Warm regards :-)
