https://video.osgeo.org/videos/watch/e6f310d0-3c7a-4d7f-a7a3-1c3c1c5242a0 WGS 84 (EPSG:4326) is the most commonly Coordinate Reference System used. It is the default in QGIS, the one used by OpenStreetMap, and what many people have in mind talking about latitude-longitude (or even for projected coordinates!). However in many cases users are not aware of the accuracy of coordinates in this system. Nowadays with more affordable RTK devices (or PPK post-processing) people expect amazing accuracies (2 cm!), but forget that the reference system must keep that accuracy. In this talk I will explain what is and what is not WGS84, when it is not a good idea to use it, and how we should be suspicious about data labelled as WGS84. Why people using it don't know or don't care about those problems (with or without a good reason). Also I will talk about the pros and cons of such a CRS. For sure, not everything is bad.
