<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Its critical to know where the
lat/longs came from. For example, if they came from Google Maps -
then its a no go, because Google's licensing is incompatible with
OSM. Their geocodes are not public domain, etc. Same thing applies
to many / most other commercial geocoding services. If you don't
know how the lat/longs were derived, then that is probably a show
stopper as well. <br>
