Great. Thanks.<br><br>PS: BTW, I'd mailed Karl 3 times (over past couple of weeks) requesting for a quote and haven't heard a response yet :( Do you know if he's been travelling or on vacation ?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

After a brief discussion with Petter, wanted to quickly ping you to see if there might be any issues/concerns with adding lat/long support for the mapping part.<br>

I can't think of any. I used easting/northings as that was what our various lookups already used, and it's easier to work with in the UK, but it should all work fine with a different co-ordinate system.<br>
<br>
The database just needs two co-ordinates of some form, it doesn't care what they are. The main bits that use the co-ordinates are the map&pin display functions, obviously, and the functions to see what council a point is in. You need to alter both of these anyway, as you're using different maps and lookups, so you can choose your own co-ordinate system.<div class="Ih2E3d">

Ideally, we should be able to make it configurable so that different<br>
regions can chose from a list of supported co-ordinate systems.<br>

Sure, as I'm not going to change how FixMyStreet works :-)<br>
