While flying from the ISS to land at Edwards, as I approached the coastline, I turned on markers in planetarium view. Looking around, I noticed the Mount Wilson marker, and comparing it to the Los Angeles and Edwards markers and to the coastline, I thought something looked strange.

From looking around on Google Maps with terrain, that is in Chatsworth, 49 km nearly due west of Mount Wilson's true location near Pasadena.

IMO, that should be changed to approximately
That appears to be the terrain summit; there are many antennas around. The solar observatories are along the ridge about 0.9 km east.

BTW, the next nearest mountain marker, Mount Palomar, is in the right place.
