Description

When implementing #1003 I got confused with easting and northing values.

When checking Stará Kouřim (https://thanados.openatlas.eu/place/view/111285) of the Thanados project my doubts were confirmed that at some point we are using them wrong. I attached 2 screenshots:

  • Screenshot1 shows the form for the centerpoint
  • Screenshot2 shows the form of the overlay image

Although I thought we double checked this at the time of implementation you can clearly see that easting/northing values are switched in the forms.

Please for clarification which one is the right one.

Also, to avoid confusion in the future some documentation in (or linked in) Form_field_map about easting/northing and e.g. how to deal with it if data is only available in latitude and longitude would be nice. The white paper linked there seems outdated and missing that kind of information.
