Tom,

I have noticed that some nodes (in my area) are spot on and others are
100+ meters off. The entire coordinate system is to much for my brain to
handle, I am glad you have it all figured out.

Again, great work integrating Google maps, it seems a lot better then the
previous map server. Once the link-mapping is done it will be a perfect
solution.

When it comes to web development I am useless, so all I can do is admire ;)

Keep up the great work dude!

Jarrod.
