You will have email from me soon. But yes, I've noticed aligment
troubles from the beginning, it comes down to the image_map used mostly,
along with possible inaccuracies of lat/lon coordinate submissions. Some
are just city or town names, the East West or South North
positive/negative is most important when sent in. Luckily everyone
states their placename as well, usually.

surrounding region (a few minutes from time of this message post).
