Those four words (a FixPhrase) can be put back into the algorithm to get the original latitude and longitude. + +FixPhrases can be shorter than four words too if less accuracy is required. The first two words will locate a city, the first three words will locate a neighborhood, and all four words will locate the corner of a house, the pitcher's mound in a baseball field, or six adjoining parking spots. \ No newline at end of file
