gns:jog refers to the sheet number of the Joint Operations Graphics map series.<br>
gns:mgrs refers to the Military Grid Reference System, which is nothing more than an alternate representation of the coordinate system<br>
<br>
IMO both these values can be safely removed.<br>
<br>
I don't know about the other ones. Perhaps you can find more information here: <a href="http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/" target="_blank">http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/<u></u>html/</a><br>

About 6 years ago, a set of data was imported from GNS, consisting of place<br>
names, mainly of place=town.<br>
<br>
As an example, see <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/52556192/history" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/<u></u>node/52556192/history</a><br>
<br>
Thy have a few tags, many of which can probably be safely automatically<br>
eliminated by editor software.<br>
<br>
Using the example node, I think the following should be added to the<br>
automatic removal list in editors<br>
<br>
<br>
gns:dms_lat=490200<br>
gns:dms_long=-1224900<br>
gns:lat=49.033333<br>
gns:long=-122.816667<br>
gns:n:xx:full_name=White Rock<br>
gns:n:xx:full_name_nd=White Rock<br>
gns:n:xx:modify_date=1993-12-<u></u>14<br>
gns:n:xx:sort_name=WHITEROCK<br>
gns:cc1=CA<br>
<br>
I'm not sure on the following. Anyone know their history, and if they're of<br>
any use to OSM?<br>
<br>
gns:adm1=02<br>
gns:dsg=PPL<br>
gns:fc=P<br>
gns:jog=NM10-08<br>
gns:mgrs=10UEV1340031177<br>
gns:n:xx:nt=N<br>
gns:rc=1<br>
gns:ufi=-575923<br>
gns:uni=-812858<br>
<br>
<br>
Any comments?<br>
