OKAY,
here are a few thoughts about your problem:
1) are you sure that your coordinates are based on the so called WGS84
system?
In case they are not, they have to be re-calculated according to the scale,
otherwise you may get an error of more than 100m.
2) are you sure that your coordinates are in DECIMAL degrees?
decimal degree = degree + (minutes + (second/60)/60)
Cheers
Johannes
