Re: [HOT] Hot export : coordinate systeme

Re: [HOT] Hot export : coordinate systeme

Computing area in Mercator is only sensible over small regions. So it’s questionable even for 3857. I was curious what the difference was between projections 3785 and 3857, and found this reference: http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=93&f=984&t=288607 “EPSG originally added 'Popular Visualisat

Re: [HOT] Tasking Manager updated

Hi Pierre, Thanks for the updates. I have a question about the next triage for the TM: when does the next one happen? I added an ew feature request to be able to use the TM in contexts or countries with low bandwidth without having to wait all the UI to load, by downloading in JOSM only with URLs.
