strange node placement Posted by nimix on 16 February 2010 in German (Deutsch). You browse for the north pole, get a map of the south pole but the map is located in the atlantic ocean: osm.org/browse/node/269538499 Location: 90.000, 0.000

I think the projection we use breaks down around 85 degrees north or south, so both poles are missing. Projections are always a compromise - we are trying to represent a globe on a flat page or screen.
