[OSGeo Africa] Coordinates on Diagrams and General Plans

[Hangwelani Mercy Phaphana]

Hi

I am a GIS professional. Its the first time I heard about SGO spatial data.
I've use those coordinates like a million times and they help a lot.
every-time i cannot find a property on cadastre, or cannot georeference 'As
build' diagram thats where i go.

I strongly say keep Coordinates on Diagrams and General Plans

Kind Regards
