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

[Vince Berubey]

Yes, the cell tower is located indeed at approx. 20m from the water tower. I thought that OSM was showing the CellTower, but it is the water tower, so it is fine. Thanks.

        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.

      

    
    Actually as you see here
    http://mc.bbbike.org/mc/?lon=-77.24981&lat=39.18456&zoom=18&num=2&mt0=google-satellite&mt1=bing-satellite
    it is very clear that the cell tower is a separate structure that is
    south west from the water tower that is mapped in OSM at a good 20m
    distance.
