For flights in the US both match. Is there a reason for that? Thanks, Thorsten

When I query "GetLastTrack" of e.g. flight ident SWR16 (Zurich to JFK) and plot the latitude / longitude on a map, I get this zig zag line over the atlantic, however looking at the flight on your map here: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/SWR16 seems to be smooth. Are you correcting this somehow? Best, Thorsten
