Hi In general the N/S E/W part of the location should be pretty good between various reporting systems. Altitude … maybe not so much. These days, whatever GPS reports as “location” generally is considered to be correct. Anybody using a different set of numbers is expected to translate over to the GPS datum.
Various maps over the years have been surprisingly far off from reality. There are a number of wonderful stories as a result. In addition, there are (as mentioned in other posts) a variety of datum’s you might use for a map. Google Maps is a lot closer to GPS today than it once was ….
