Coordinate error

{{geodata-check}}

The following coordinate fixes are needed for Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn. The coordinates that are mapped out show the plaza as located in Far Rockaway, Queens, which is incorrect.

Yes, it's broken, but I fail to understand how. The coords are correct, yet the map indeed shows a location across Jamaica Bay. Perhaps the locator map has an incorrect origin. Jim.henderson (talk) 04:02, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
 Done. I couldn't figure out what the problem was, either, not being familiar with the intimate workings of {{Geobox}}. (I have a feeling that although a map of NYC is displayed in the infobox, the pushpin was being positioned as if it were on a map of New York State.) Therefore, I've just positioned the damned pushpin by hand. A kludge, but at least the map looks better. Deor (talk) 20:01, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
