Can those running a guide let me know (on or off-list as preferred) what
their guide settings are for:
geo_handler
ellipsoid
as I'm trying to judge how best to integrate/release some of the Google
maps stuff that was merged last month.
Cheers,
Dominic.

I had no idea when I was filling out those options what I supposed to
pick, so I have "3", and "WGS-84". I have no idea if this is
what's
supposed to be there, but it hasn't caused me any problems yet, so far
as I can tell: searching by distance seems to work right, and the
mapping works right. That's all that matters to me. :)

geo_handler = 1
ellipsoid = International
(My easting/northing -> Google Maps error is about 100m, with the points
showing up SSE of where they should be)

For nottingham, manchester and lancaster I seem to have "geo_handler =
1". I don't seem to have an ellipsoid setting for any of them -- was
it added in a recent version?

The values for SaintPaul are:
geo_handler = 3
And the SaintPaul guide uses the default ellipsoid International ... which
I suppose is a problem.

My London mirror is using geo_handler=3 and ellipsoid=WGS84

Looks like Southampton uses:
geo_handler = 1
ellipsoid it doesn't have
I take it that these setting are why the google maps stuff is off by
a whole bunch of meters?

that wouldn't be the case.

I wasn't paying much attention during the install (it was the 100th

ran it, prereq issues..).
The Southampton guide does use OS coordinates as the input.
Something to put on my todo stack.
Thanks,
Daniel
