There's some things here I don't understand well enough... but is there a difference between saying "OSM doesn't use WGS84" and "OSM uses WGS84, but some of the data is not imported accurately"? (apart the issue of plate movements over time).
- mtmail 2y agoI think you're correct. The post is 5 years old and data users and mappers (people editing the map) still use it the same: assume WGS84, be aware that sometimes in some regions that might not be 100% accurate. Those needing centimeter accuracy will use government data, for Australia that would be GDA2020 (which replaced GDA94). Car navigation (assuming a human driver) hardly needs meter accuracy. https://www.icsm.gov.au/gda2020 https://www.icsm.gov.au/gda2020
