Before making assumptions on the editor, what about assumptions on the data source, are we talking GPS or hi-res imagery? Neither of which use mercator projections... If we are assuming GPS, then it's irrelevent, since you are plotting from lat/lon to lat/lon, if it's hi-res imagery it would still be lat/lon... The GPS data may look bent, which may lead to people adding extra nodes unnessicarily, but this is a perception thing, not one that has more or less benefit in this. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
