So Google is showing Marker B for the exact geopoint and then performing a reverse geocode on the query values and getting an approximate location which is Marker A. (I think) Try passing just geo and just q values to see what Google Maps displays: Code: Copy ' does this display Marker B? URI= "geo:" & lat & "," & lon Code: Copy ' does this display Marker A? URI= "geo:0,0?q=" & lat & "," & lon Reverse geocoding is never as accurate as using true coordinates. Martin. Upvote 0
