I was looking at this, and then I realized: According to the OSM export, SRTM says I live in Antarctica, and not Canada. Is the SRTM backwards, or OSM? They only match up if I flip OSM's long/lat. https://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/version2_1/Documentation/Continent_def.gif asked 18 Apr '16, 19:05  Dummiesman edited 18 Apr '16, 20:12 |

This type of query has been done to death on various GIS forums. Both lat first & long first are in common usage: you just have to adapt to the convention used by a particular tool or dataset.
