Need accurate coordinates for Mt. Fox article.

[edit]

I came to this article through a placemark on Google Earth that was incorrectly placed in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I found that the placemark was based on the coordinates in the article, which stated a location of 19°00'N, 145°45'W. After referencing at Volcano World's web page, I corrected the coordinates to what the page listed. I then checked for Mount Fox's actual location on Google Earth and found that the coordinates given at the Volcano World page is not accurate, although it is close. I found a marker for Mount Fox on Google Earth at 18°50'24"S, 145°48'26"E, and an easily identifiable cinder cone with a crater nearby, which someone put a placemark identifying it as Mount Fox. The person who put the placemark posted at the Google Earth Community BBS Forum a brief description of the volcano. The placemark sits atop the cinder cone, whose coordinates are 18°50'31.98"S, 145°48'22.09"E. I'd like to see the exact correct coordinates of this mountain in the article.
