SOTA S5

Hi!
Se mi je zdelo nenavadno zakaj se v Google Earth naši hribi pojavijo v Jemnu

Error in S5 database


Post by HA5CW on 9th April 2010 at 10:10
Hi Folks!

I found a funny phenomenon.

A quote from SOTA database:

>>>
Summit Information for S5/GS-019
Križarka - 413m, 2 points
Association: Slovenia Region: Goricko, Slovenjske Gorice in Haloze
Latitude: 16 7 58 N, Longitude: 46 49 42 E
<<<

This location in in North-Yemen! The latitude coordinate is obviously mistaken for logitude and vica versa.

The same applies for the summits S5/GS-001, -002, -003, -004, -005, -006, -007, -008, -015, -037. Then I checked only the very first items out of other regions (S5/BI-001, S5/BR-001, etc.) but the same applies for them. It seems that the geographic coordinates all of the S5 peaks are consistently inverted.

I checked this again... The phenomenon occurs if I open the database as follows:
Summits/ S5 land / XX region / ZZZ summit. or
Database / S5 land / XX region / ZZZ summit.
The coordinates are inverted in both cases.
but...
Database / Summits / List of all summits / S5 land / XXX region gives a table of correct coordinates !!!

Maybe, the database is OK, but there's a bug in the procedure displaying the data?! Haw... But, confusingly, this phenomenon does not occur in case of the OE or HA summits. How do you explain this?

Any idea?

Thanks for that, Joska, this problem has occurred with several Associations and it is being put right but takes time.

It was worse when it happened to W6. That places the summits further south than the south pole. Google Earth does some pretty wierd things if you give it a latitude of more than 90 degrees.

Hja, očitno imajo fantje v G-landu kar nekaj problemov. Trenutno osnovna SOTA stran sploh ni dosegljiva. Vse koordinate v bazah, dosegljivih na SOTAWatch so obrnjene okoli.
Naši vrhovi so dosti natančneje predstavljeni TU. GoogleEarth je kar zamaknjen - vsaj kar se tiče koordinat. To smo ugotovili tudi lani, ko so nam poslali izračun vrhov. Ugotavljam pa sedaj tudi v primeru E7, kjer so samo povzeli koordinate iz Google KML datoteke. Stvari kiksajo tudi za par 100 metrov.

Ja, ampak še vedno nagaja. Pogosto se je potrebno prijaviti z uporabniškim imenom in geslom. Sem se moral ob vsakem nalaganju dnevnika. POčasi bo že

Ne dela več ...

Imajo očitno veliko problemov ...

SORRY!
We are continuing to have problems with the SOTA database website, which are beyond our control.

The support team of our Internet Service Provider, http://www.webhost4life.com, have been informed, and have passed the problem on to their engineers.

Hopefully everything should be back to normal in the next day or two. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Return to Main SOTA website

O urejanju težav je več kot dovolj napisanega v SOTAWatch2 Reflektorju. Vpis v bazo bi sedaj moral delovati. Fantje opozarjajo, da sta Baza in podatki o aktiviranih vrhovih, dosegljivi preko SOTAWatch (Summits), dve ločeni zadevi. Medsebojna "komunikacija" še ni porihtana, zato zadnje aktivacije vrhov niso prikazane. Bodo uredili, samo brez panike - saj ne gre za življenja

Prav tako so porihtali obnovo gesla za dostop do baze. A pozor Pri Resetu gesla vam novega pošljejo le na e-mail naslov, ki ga imate vpisanega v svojih osebnih podatkih vnešenih ob registraciji. Če e-mail naslov spremenite, ga čimprej zamenjajte v svojih nastavitvah, drugače boste ob izgubljenem geslu v težavah. V takem primeru bo verjetno pomagalo le sporočuilo administratorju baze (najdete na osnovni SOTA strani pod zavihkom Contacts, izberite G0HJQ in opišite težavo).
