Maybe this is evidence of a wider problem with Pacific Islands that are close to the International Dateline.
I have noticed that the location for the country tags for both Fiji and Tonga are a long way from their true location. For Fiji the country is located on OSM at http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-28.08334&lon=-179.99&zoom=15. This is probably a typing error (someone hit tie 2 key instead of 1) and probably was meant to be http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-18.08334&lon=-179.99&zoom=15 which would put it in the middle of the Fiji group of islands). I would have fixed these errors except that I don't know how to move a country. Any suggestions on how to fix this? 2009/4/2 Iván Sánchez Ortega <[email protected]>: > El Miércoles, 1 de Abril de 2009, Randy George escribió: >> I also checked against Google Earth by locating LL -155.136552, 19.68534 >> on OSM and on GE.
