The tests we perform correspond to the following bits:
/** * Set if latitude appears to have the wrong sign */ public static final intGEOSPATIAL_PRESUMED_NEGATED_LATITUDE = 0x01; /** * Set if longitude appears to have the wrong sign */ public static final int GEOSPATIAL_PRESUMED_NEGATED_LONGITUDE = 0x02; /** * Set if latitude and longitude appears to have been switched */ public static final int GEOSPATIAL_PRESUMED_INVERTED_COORDINATES = 0x04; /** * Set if coordinates are (0,0) */ public static final int GEOSPATIAL_ZERO_COORDINATES = 0x08; /** * Set if coordinates not in range -90 to 90 and -180 to 180 */ public static final int GEOSPATIAL_COORDINATES_OUT_OF_RANGE = 0x10; /** * Set if coordinates do not match country name (covers cases not handled above) */ public static final int GEOSPATIAL_COUNTRY_COORDINATE_MISMATCH = 0x20;

Buff... that is more than enough!! I suppose you also drop latitude=longitude=0 right?
I think we have to change our report on this topic jeje.
Cheers.

Right now the dodginess is only detected for records where we interpret the Country name as a particular country and also have coordinates and the coordinates do not intersect the country. In many cases we actually also determine that the latitude is negated, the longitude is negated and/or the latitude and longitude are transposed.

Hi
Great stuff that we can now exclude dodgy / non existant occurrences - we could probably make th e second (coordinate issues) option user settable (or at the least a setting in our global config file).

Great,
I will then uncomment the code :)
