Im trying to produce one similar to the one computer love had. This is turning into a nightmare, I have the marker getting roughly around the location it should be, the position on the X axis is perfect but it is always too high / low on the y axis, see here:
What could this be attrbuted to? Is it because the latitude lines are getting further apart as you go up?
Code here:

Any help is appreciated!

i believe your running into the problem because of the map projection. converting 3d points on a sphere into 2d points on a "warped" 2d plane.
I ran into something similair when making a flash app that would read data recorded from a gps unit and display on a map. never did get it right. finally gave up...

Any ideas?
