Not just ESRI users, Sahana users also. I can see why GeoJSON might be in Spherical Mercator by default, but Shapefile is bizarre Allowing users to select the projection will be ideal, but we'll still want a sensible default both for those users who do this all the time (1 less click) & those who don't read/understand properly ;) F _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
