[postgis-users] simplify() on lat/lon data

[Tyler Mitchell]

Folks, I've successfully used (and understood) the results of the 
simplify() function on my UTM data.  But now I've got some DMS data and am 
stumped - any suggestions on how to make useful data?  I used tolerance of 
0.01 and my data looks really weird.

Anyone have recommendations on simplifying this data?  With UTM I 
understood fairly clearly that my tolerance was in meters, but what should 
I be using in DMS?
