[Talk-ca] Fredericton WMS Offset

[nicholas ingalls]

Yeah I did a bit more research afterwards to double check, including going
and getting gps more gps traces and the current (Bing) imagery appears to
be dead on. I also checked it with some centre lines from another data
source (Not importing just to check the imagery) and they also verified
that the Bing imagery is correct.

Thanks for the feedback! I hadn't thought about the atmospheric
interference.

Cheers,
ingalls
