Hi All!
I was puzzled for some time so I decided to post this to the list. I noticed that no matter how I try to refine the position of some devices on the map, the devices are placed on the map like there was some grid. I mean I can specify the co-ordinates even to 5-6 decimal places, the final co-ordinates generated and displayed on Google Maps are only remotely associated to the ones I specified.
For example here is a snippet from the javascript code of map initializing:
data.addRows([ ... [47.5100487, 19.0782548, 1, 0, "1 Hosts", '47.511,19.0785', 'devices/location=WyI0Ny41MTEsMTkuMDc4NSJd/'], ...
As you can see, the entered co-ordinates are not quite the ones where the pin gets put on the map.
I tried to disable the location_map directive in the config file, but the computed co-ordinates are the same, only the link changes:
[47.5100487, 19.0782548, 1, 0, "1 Hosts", 'Varosligeti fasor 44, Budapest 1068', 'devices/location=WyJWYXJvc2xpZ2V0aSBmYXNvciA0NCwgQnVkYXBlc3QgMTA2OCJd/'],
The question is, what does Observium compute on the entered co-ordinates and why is it changing them? Not that those 100 meters do really matter, but I am curious.
My system is Observium CE 0.14.11.6000 running on Debian 7..8, php 5.4.36 If I should include any other information please say so.
Thanks, Tylla
