I know that 3857 was introduced to replace 3785 but I get (got) slightly different results for 3785 and 3857 and the definitions you can find at EPSG are also slightly different. ( I am aware that EPSG says that 3785 is "not valid"). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
