Openlayers 3 coordinate conversions -
newb alert: i'm new openlayers 3 , mapping in general. background in sql server, , end systems design. have no experience in html, javascript, web development etc. i'm sure simple issue can't seem figure out details.
i've modified 1 of samples openlayers.org , doesn't behave expected. uses geojson object , draws points on map, don't end expected. apparently there conversion or happens.
the sample used here: geojson example
my test map here: test map
the geojson object defined as
var geojsonobject = { 'type': 'featurecollection', 'crs': { 'type': 'name', 'properties': { 'name': 'epsg:3857' } }, 'features': [ { 'type': 'feature', 'geometry': { 'type': 'point', 'coordinates': [0, 0] } }, { 'type': 'feature', 'geometry': { 'type': 'point', 'coordinates': [-8.575653e6, 4.70681e6] //white house, washington dc lon -77.03648269999997 lat 38.89767579999999 } } ] };
through little trial , error, able point display on white house lawn (nsa has no doubt flagged conversation) , there no resemblance latitude , longitude pulled different source. understand order of coordinates [lon, lat] can see no rhyme or reason -77.036 = -8.575e6. other point [0,0] displays right expect it.
i have tried figure out myself , searched quite few places, can't seem find answer.
also, if direct me tutorials, appreciated. thanks!
your geojson data in epsg:3857, different coordinate system latitude/longitude. coordinates not equal, represent same geographical location.
see http://spatialreference.org/ref/sr-org/6864/ information epsg:3857. map there shows difference between given points coordinates in coordinate reference systems.
