Looks like it's not really YOUR lat/lon, but the location of perhaps the center of your zip code area. I typed mine in and compared to my streets & trips program. The site's lat/lon was 3/4 of a mile NE of my actual location.

If you want to know your actual lat / lon, try this geocode Eagle decoder:

It got my lat/lon accurate to 4 decimal places.[/url]

Yeah, but I was curious how close it would be to my house. I put in the 9-digit zip code. Don't know if that gave a different reading than the 5-digit code.
