For now at least GCJ-02 data can be justified since stuff like Geolocator and Coordinates use Google Maps. Baidu also has some click-to-see-coord feature, so I guess BD-09 data, although definitely limited to one proprietrary source that everyone uses, may be justfied as

I doubt that proposal's usefulness in our case, as WGS84-like (including ITRS) lat-lon is fairly ubiquitous on our planet. Adding a property for solving Earth problems also means complicating things like Template:Coord, which is something I don't want to do for "systems"

According to some pages I have read from google, it seems like in the US only the compilation of data is protected while data itself are not and the creation of databasr also need to have some creativity in order to make the database fulfil copyright law, and in the EU ther

Good question. With my AGF hat on, I would say that maps served in mainland China, Google or Baidu, also provide distorted/shift aerial imagery to mask the deviation applied, so "good guys" who look for places on the wrong aerial map are still screwed. With that map off b

Is systematic copying of coordinates from other sources not problematic anyways because it means the data infringes copyright and/or DB rights in many jurisdictions?TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T162331EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settin

For people looking for a solution for now, I have set up a simple user gadget for conversion (web version). I have added links to the web version to the CN section for GeoTemplate on zhwiki and enwiki. I am planning on adding the said map previews to the web demo, but tha
