Issue Summary

Hi everyone,
I got some strange problem here.
A situation report first:
I created a content type with a location field (its important for me that it is a field). When viewing the node everything is ok (see attached image node-everything-alright.png), but when I take a look at the view, the marker has quite an offset (about 6 kilometres) - you can see this in the attachment gmapextended-wrong-location.png . I also uploaded my GMap Extended settings - see gmapextended-settings.png - the marker offset is empty and my Macro consists just of width/height: [gmap width=750px| height=400px ]

I don't have a clue what the problem is... maybe someone can give me a tip what I am doing wrong?

Edit: If I just use GMap instead of GMap Extended, the marker is at the right location

I'm getting the same results. One of my markers is 3 blocks off and another is around 2 miles off.
I'm running Drupal 6.20. And downloaded the latest Gmap and location modules yesterday.
GMap Module 6.x-1.1
Location 6.x-3.2
Maps API v2

Are you both using extended Gmap?
Have you checked that the lat/lon of the locations is correct?

I had this happen here...I had to switch the latitude and longitude to use decimal degrees instead of "degrees, minutes, seconds".

Example of decimal degrees setting
