[OSM-dev] Longitude/Latitude result different from Google/Bing

[Vince Berubey]

Hi,
If you look at this page, you will see a cell tower at: 39.184556 / -77.249806 
http://www.cellreception.com/towers/details.php?id=1230956
 
 
In google map , it shows the same thing when we type 39.184556 -77.249806.
But, in OpenStreetMap, you see the location of the cell tower is a little bit different: http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=39.184556%20-77.249806#map=18/39.18483/-77.24953
 
 
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?
 
 
Thank
