And that's missing all the coordinate stuff. Let's add
* FALSE: You don't need to know the difference between geographic and projected coordinate systems
* FALSE: There is only one geographical coordinate system and it's called WGS84
* FALSE: For any pair of coordinate systems there is one and only one way to transform data between them

- nerdponx 9y ago* FALSE: calculating the distance between points is straightforward and there is one way to do it.
- wcarey 9y agoAnother fun one: *FALSE: A coordinate that looks like 15 45 38 is Degrees, Minutes, Seconds. (Sometimes it's degrees, decimal minutes. Happily, the maps in question had some "seconds" values greater than 59, which tipped us off.)
