I think the lack of exactitude isn't a problem, we're getting a really good close idea of where people are (you don't have to see Culebra or Vieques the islands themselves to see where knotimpaired and myself are). If a storm comes close to your location...we're going to have you in our thoughts, for sure! And most likely be reading it here!

I suppose so ...
BTW, Google Earth sure is a neat tool ... type in
25° 57' 3" N , 80° 10' 1" W
and you'll zoom right in on my air conditioning unit.

I know it appears so, but it's because GE sometimes wants to display labels in different positions whenever another placemark is very close to them. Here's another zoomed shot of the Miami area which shows your placemark in the same position as it was before, but labeled more clearly:

Found out on google earth
You probably mean 41°56' N and 70°39' W.
For future reference, everyone, using degrees/minutes instead of degrees and decimals of degrees definitely makes a difference.
For those of you using Google Earth to determine your latitude/longitude, you can switch between either one in the Options menu.
