I *did* have problems (see the list, or maybe the dev-list, around April or
May) - things were about 0.1km out - but then they mysteriously disappeared,
which I attributed to a correction on the Landsat server.
At the moment I don't do any lat-long to gridref conversion in osm-editor,
everything is pure lat-long (WGS84). However the new version of Freemap
includes a Landsat mode, and that does conversions using Jeeps routines
ported to PHP, and seems spot-on.At the moment everything seems to be pretty
much spot on within the accuracy that I can make out using Landsat. That's in
the areas close to 51N, 1W by the way.
