I'm not sure how to fix the co-ordinates but the actual co-ordinates for Goonhilly are 50° 2′ 50.00″ N, 5° 10′ 59.00″ W, and 50.04800,-5.18100. Both accurate on Google Maps. AD227529 (talk) 07:05, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]


50°02′53″N 5°10′55″W / 50.04806°N 5.18194°W / 50.04806; -5.18194 seems fine to me, as it points to a corner of a large building within a complex of buildings surrounded by large satellite dishes which is presumably Goonhilly station itself.
50°02′50″N 5°10′59″W / 50.04722°N 5.18306°W / 50.04722; -5.18306 marks a point on a road within the same complex of buildings: I can't see any difference in terms of locating the station. -- The Anome (talk) 14:58, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
