Shift with the same coordinates

hello everyone!

I have a little problem, and i was wondering if you guys can help me solve it or if you can give me some hints.

The problem is that i'am coding a website, and i am using the google maps api (dynamic map), so that users can select where they did park their cars(with a marker), then i take the latLng values and i save it in my database. after that, and when the user wants to have a look on his informations, i use the reverse geocoding script with the values of latLng that i saved (with a marker), but i dont get the same result, there is a difference between the two markers place.

Do you have any idea Why is that? and what can i do to get an excat result?

Thank you,

Make sure your data types sync up across getting the value to saving the value. If you get a float from the API, then save it to a database field which is an int you'll lose some data.

Best way to store it in your database is actually as a geolocation rather than a number (if your DB supports that).
