GeoNames Forum

I encountered a weird behavior when I use the geonames api, and the geonames normal search. They are returning different coordinates.

When I use the normal search of the geonames, for example:
http://www.geonames.org/search.html?q=grove+port&country=GB

I get Latitude: N 53° 36' 12, Longitude: W 0° 43' 11''

But when I use the api to do the same search:
http://api.geonames.org/search?name=grove%20port&country=gb&username=MyUserName&

I get Latitude: 53.60348, Longitude: -0.71986 .

This happens for many (if not all) different locations, not just this one.
The correct coordinates is the one returned by the normal search and not the api result.
Anyone know why is this happening?

Thanks in advance!
