Matsuya Ota Maruyama Store Coordinates Corrected by About 127m — Location Data Aligned with Reality on Day 3 After Opening

StoreUpdated

At 11:48 AM on April 27, it was confirmed that the latitude and longitude in the store data for “Matsuya Ota Maruyama Store” (1380 Maruyama-cho, Ota City, Gunma Prefecture), which had only opened on April 25, had been significantly corrected.

Details of the Change

Item Before After Difference
Latitude (lat) 36.3453371 36.3450952 -0.0002419 degrees (about 27m south)
Longitude (lon) 139.380650 139.3820229 +0.0013729 degrees (about 124m east)
Total Distance Moved About 127m

Just before the opening, there had been a fine adjustment of 0.000001 degrees (about 9cm) to the longitude, but this time both the latitude and longitude were corrected by 3 to 4 digits, resulting in a large-scale shift of about 127 meters.

Aligning with Reality After Opening?

Following the store’s opening on April 25, it appears that on-site measurements and cross-checking with map services after opening revealed a discrepancy between the registered coordinates and the store’s actual location. Matsuya’s previous coordinate corrections have mostly been fine adjustments of 0.000001 degrees (around 10cm), but this correction is much larger in scale, taking the form of a fix to an error in the coordinates registered at the time of listing.

Users planning to visit this store using map apps or route search services will find that navigation guides them correctly once the updated data is reflected.

Editor's Note

A bold correction of about 127m for Ota Maruyama Store. After a series of 9cm-level fine adjustments, a sudden correction of over 100m comes as a surprise.
