Hi I'm unsure why go on about anyone being "thrown out". I'm unsure why doing it inconsistently in the past in 'legacy' code is any reason for not trying to sort it out for the future. Programmers can reformat to any standard* of their desire /within/ their own program. It can't be hard to d

Re: [OSM-talk] Coordinates in OSM. Really annoying

Hi, Is there /really/ any need for *six* coordinate formats? It's hard enough to learn a new process without basics like this tripping you up. There is nobody who is trusted enough to set an universal standard: https://xkcd.com/927/ Basically, there is an ISO standard https://en.wikipedia.org

Re: [OSM-talk] Coordinates in OSM. Really annoying

Not to mention [longitude, latitude] vs [latitude, longitude] issue. I'm working on a web app using Leaflet library and had spent hours debugging my own code trying to figure out why data points didn't show up or showed up in the wrong continent. As it turned out Leaflet expects [x, y] cartesian

As they're parameters, the format can be standardised for the end user & any programme should be able to sort out syntax behind the scenes. On 22/04/2017 15:15, Lester Caine wrote: On 22/04/17 14:19, Dave F wrote: It's to provide the numerous coordinates format for each of the programs. Selec

It's to provide the numerous coordinates format for each of the programs. Select a boundary box (Alt+LButton mouse drag) & you get: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C-BP_QdWsAEN-Ac.jpg I can't understand the need for the variations in syntax DaveF On 21/04/2017 17:28, Lester Caine wrote: On 21/04

Re: [OSM-talk] Coordinates in OSM. Really annoying

Oh, agree OSM isn't unique, but considering it's a geocoded project, it's just embarrassing that coordinates can't be coordinated. DaveF On 22/04/2017 13:57, Oleksiy Muzalyev wrote: On 21.04.17 17:28, Dave F wrote: Hi This is one of my OSM bugbears: http://osm.duschmarke.de/bbox.html Is th
