Explicitly document lat/long order #13

Closed ctford closed 11 years ago

ctford commented 11 years ago

In the geolocation section, we use GeoJson derived coordinates:

coordinates: [-1.6917, 29.5250]

The spec doesn't say whether the first number is latitude or longitude. This should be added briefly to avoid ambiguity.

Cool. Was following geojson. Are you cool with coordinates as a field name? On Dec 4, 2012 1:35 PM, "Chris Ford" notifications@github.com wrote:

Yes, following GeoJson is fine for both the coordinates name and the structure of the points. Would just be good to make sure everyone knows it's not long/lat. :-)

According to the spec, the order is [lng, lat]

k that's really weird as having else is lat, long. I guess in terms of x, y then it's right. Will change
