- Herald_MJ 10y agoTheir latitude and longitude have been mistakenly switched around.
- mintone 10y agoYes! This is something I discovered whilst building part of the fieldmargin stack - basically historically speaking you order the terms as latitude, longitude. For lots of applications (inc. geoJSON) you follow the mathematical order however: x, y, z which equivalent to longitude, latitude. Our iOS dev made the mistake of incorrectly ordering them one day and we discovered our data along with the poundstretchers in the Indian Ocean which we thought was pretty funny. We assume they made the same mistake.
