Bruno Busco commented on OFBIZ-3348:


I normally use Google latitude from my cell phone and it shows my position on 
the map, both on the cell itself and both on a remote computer, without 
appreciable error.
So I would say that google map has a correct GPS position rendering.

I would take google as a reference and, for any (yet not implemented) other map 
service look for an adjustement.
Did you have a chance to give a look to the patch?

Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-3348:


* At 1st place they should give the exact same coordinate. But apparently they 
don't (why I'm not sure)
* Not sure how to qualify an error here :(
* I'm not sure how his could be compensated, maybe it's related to their 
renderers also...
* We should also care that one day (normally 2013) Galileo should be available 
(I mean not only GPS)

Bruno Busco commented on OFBIZ-3348:


They don't define exactly the same coordinates for the same point?
That's interesting!

And how can this be used if the coordinated come from a GPS?
If one of the map provider introduce an error this should be compensated when 
placing the GepPoint on that map, not on the database.

Don't you think so?

Bruno,

Questions/Answers
# Because
** there are different rendering system
** (for now?) they don't define exactly the same coordinates for the same 
point. So to be accurate we introduced dataSourceId.
