Axis-order reversal (lat/lng swap)

Data quality

Coordinates supplied as [lat,lng] where [lng,lat] is expected place geometry in the wrong hemisphere.

Detection

Coordinate out of range but valid when swapped.

Mitigation

  • Range-check and swap-detect
  • Reject rather than guess when ambiguous

Affected conversions

  • PointH3
  • PolygonH3 (intersects)
