 == Determining the location of the camera ==
-To participate in the network you will need a unique station code. We will generate one for you once you let us know the exact geographical location of the camera. Measuring the precise location of the camera is very important for triangulating meteor trajectories - the location of you camera will not be shared with anyone without your consent.
+To participate in the network, you will need a unique station code. We will generate one for you once you let us know the exact geographical location of the camera. Measuring the precise location of the camera is very important for triangulating meteor trajectories - the location of your camera will not be shared with anyone without your consent.
 How to do it:
-Use a GPS app on your smartphone to measure the location by holding the phone close to the camera and write down the latitude, longitude and elevation. In the worst case, use Google Maps. Please use the precision for the longitude and latitude of at least 5 decimal places (or to within one “), and the elevation to a meter.
+Even though GPS apps on your smartphone *claim* they're accurate to about 3 m, they can often be off 10x as much. The best source of coordinates is Google Earth, which provides an excellent estimate of terrain elevation. The final elevation should be terrain + height of the camera above the ground.
