Concise and to-the-point, unlike the 15-digit decimal coordinate precision setting. Thank you.

Thanks for that Mike! Good stuff! I appreciate you taking the time to explain why you changed the 15 to a 5.

Good video, simple and easy to understand, however, with the coordinate system, in my opinion it is better to use the coordinate system of the basemap you will be using for your web app. So in most cases this is normally Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere (3857), not WGS84 (4326), i.e. projected vs geographic (X/Y vs Lat/Lng). If you use 4326, most web mapping APIs will reproject this to 3857.

is it possible to set another CRS like wgs84-UTM ?
also...according to your experience, what are the disadvantages of using a GeoJSON compared with a shape file?

Ah, yes, perfectly obvious! Go to some wierd-shaped icon to open a file -- not "Open File" or "Import". Anyways, thanks for the video on this rather arcane and nonstandard program.
