My main hatred is the simple one
Lat/Lon or Lon/Lat, and what about altitude? especially when libraries have parameters like x, y, z and you have to triple-check which value is going into which vaguely named, not well documented, field.
Because there are different conventions on which value goes to which depending on your background.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoAnother fun one is altitude vs elevation (then of course it comes down to whether you're using a WGS84 ellipsoid or something more esoteric)
- yxhuvud 6y agoNot to mention that different coordinate systems also use different orderings.
