--- Comment #5 from jeb...@gmail.com 2012-10-10 08:40:28 UTC --- It is really a much bigger problem than most people tend to believe as WGS84 is outdated, the followup EGM96 isn't much used and EGM2008 is to complex to be really useful. Add to this that the GPS system uses its own variant, then add the errors and variations in NAD83 and ETRS89, and also note the use of PZ-90 in GLONASS and SK-42 reference system in older russian maps. Geographic coordinates are a complex beast. I would prefer that GeoCoordinateValue has WGS84 as default but it should be simple to override this and set it to something else. Note that this only has to be an identifier for the specific datum, not the complete definition of the actual datum. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
