This is a nice little illustration of how hard it is, and how far you can end up going, when you try to solve what seem like simple problems properly. I use OSM

This is a nice little illustration of how hard it is, and how far you can end up going, when you try to solve what seem like simple problems properly. I use OSM because i just want to know where my nearest postbox is; under the hood it's modelling plate tectonics!
- maxerickson 7y agoThe post is saying that it isn't modeling plate tectonics.
- cosmic_quanta 7y agoIt's modelling their movements, but not their distortion
- maxerickson 7y agoThe imagery sources all use "locked" datums that ignore the movement, so the OSM data derived from the imagery is also ignoring the movement.
- URSpider94 7y agoWell, that’s not what the article says. Some of their image sources are using plate-locked frames of reference, and some are using global frames of reference. It’s actually inconsistent.
