-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Having it be selectable would be a good solution. Paul Norman raised an interesting point on the github issue that currently we are currently adding a column of 'area' to the polygons table which can only be computed sensibly if you are in a projection like 3857, if we use wgs84 it would not make sense to have that column.
Now, since the column is not really used anyway (as far as I know) and since you can re-add the column yourself in GIS software, then I see no reason not to just drop the column and make setting the projection an option. - -AndrewBuck On 10/16/2014 10:59 AM, Kate Chapman wrote: > Hi All, > > There was a reason for the current system (though honestly I cant > remember what).
