<br>
Hopefully a
simple question, but if you were building something completely
new,
how would you record the data? Specifically if you wanted to use
OSM, would you store the co-ordinates in EPSG:3857 or EPSG:4326?
Of
course if you need to exchange data with other systems EPSD:4326
might be more useful as users are fairly familiar with the idea of
latitude/longitude, however given this would be the exception
rather
than the rule, is there any merit in storing the data in EPSG:3857
and converting to EPSG:4326 when needed? Would this be any faster
with less conversions going on to plot the data on a map? If this
is
sensible is there an easy way to convert EPSG:3857 to tile names
like
there is for EPSG:4326?<br>
<br>
Your thoughts are
appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
