It is not quite clear what you are getting at. Currently the tower
node is located at <a
href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=39.1847132&lon=-77.2495875&zoom=18">39.1847132,
-77.2495875</a> in OSM and likely the position was derived from
bing imagery. The difference to the position you give is 26 meters
(result from an online calculator that I didn't check myself) which
may indicate that the imagery there is slightly misaligned or that
the position of the cell tower is not actually in the middle of the
water tower which has a diameter of roughly 30m, but on one side of
it.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br>
If you look at this page, you will see a cell tower at:
39.184556 / -77.249806 <br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.cellreception.com/towers/details.php?id=1230956">http://www.cellreception.com/towers/details.php?id=1230956</a><br>
<br>
<br>
In google map , it shows the same thing when we type 39.184556
-77.249806.<br>
But, in OpenStreetMap, you see the location of the cell tower is
a little bit different: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=39.184556%20-77.249806#map=18/39.18483/-77.24953">http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=39.184556%20-77.249806#map=18/39.18483/-77.24953</a><br>
<br>
<br>
Do you have an explanation for this? Should I expect OSM to
always have a longitude/latitude a little bit different that
what it really is?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank<br>
