I think what Donald's saying is that you're stating the location of a city, in comparison to the location of a state.
Where that screen shot of yours says New York, it means New York state (county) as opposed to the city.
If you compare Toronto to New York city (comparing like-like) then Toronto is a long way west of New York and quite a way north too.
New York city on your screenshot map is in the bottom right hand corner of the state (right of the 'a' of Pennsylvania).
