<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; of the bzgt boundary?<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>well considering that we dont know what datum any of these <br/>
longitudes are expressed in<br/>
they could vary from one another by as much as a full second or <br/>
even more without actually disagreeing<br/>
but here they are anyway<br/>
trusting you wont make too much of all this spurious accuracy<br/>
&or spurious inaccuracy<br/>
<br/>
for gtmx marker 107 aka vertice aguas turbias aka old bzgtmx<br/>
mexican value 89d 09m 07s03521<br/>
american value 89d 09m 06s749<br/>
<br/>
& for new bzgtmx approx 200m to the east of the old one<br/>
derived from the longitude of the bzgt turnpoint at garbutts falls<br/>
belizean value 89d 09m 00s283<br/>
<br/>
so your nuevo put longitude is a much closer match for the old <br/>
bzgtmx than for the new bzgtmx<br/>
but is still only a near coincidence at best<br/>
& without any evident historical or consequential connection</div>
