Don't read the longitude/latitude conversion or scale bits on this page, they're wrong. Read Google Maps Deconstructed instead. Marius is correct.

Longitude maps linearly to the x coordinate, while the lattitude is scaled non-linearly to keep the horizontal and vertical scales the same in every part of the world. See for example <a href="http://cfis.savagexi.com/articles/2006/05/03/google-maps-deconstructed" rel="nofollow">Google Maps Deconstructed</a> Maemo Mapper has the formulas in C code (search for latlon2unit and unit2latlon in maemo-mapper.c).
