#230: Clarify the ellipsoid used when presenting latitude/longitude to the user in HTML ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: dom | Owner: Nobody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: openguides | Version: svn Severity: normal | Keywords: ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Most of the places we present lat/long (RDF, google maps) have a well specified WGS84 ellipsoid. However, the ellipsoid used is undefined when displaying on the node page. Some people will assume that it's WGS84 and be confused when it's not. However it would be inappropriate to change the display format unilaterally to wgs84 without making it clear to the user. A compromise should be reached where we tell the user the format the data is in. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.openguides.org/ticket/230> OpenGuides <http://openguides.org/> The OpenGuides city guides project
