This article mentions a potential MOS violation: not using WGS84 for Chinese coordinates. For a warning template and instructions to correct such data, refer to User:Artoria2e5/coord-notice. |
The problem was observed as early as 2008, and the causes were unclear, with (misguided) speculation that imported GPS chips were tampered with code that caused incorrect reporting of coordinates.[41] It is still unclear whether GPS chips manufactured in China return GCJ-02 coordinates directly, or if they return WGS-84 coordinates, which approved map software can convert to GCJ-02.[citation needed]
While I do appreciate the effort of referring to the speculation as "misguided", the unsupported claim that follows should be able to use a bit of similarly powered claim regarding the source of the offset. Will anyone find some source to clear that up a bit? (Logically the answer lies not in the chips (nor in smartphone OS/firmware), but in the software. Otherwise: a) everyone with a smartphone is screwed and skewed when they check apple satellite or google Earth imagery b) there won't be any deviation relative to street maps visible in Ingress (good thing, ironically).) – Artoria 2e5 contrib 04:51, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
