Re: shp file won't display

Dear Martijn,

You are using projected coordinates according to the Dutch RD sterographic
projection method. Basically you need to do two things to get this
working.
1. Inverse calculate you RD coordinates to Lat/Lon coordinates
2. Create a projection that projects the Lat/Lon coordinates back to RD
coordinates within Openmap.

I have gone through this. It is not trivial, if you wants this to be
accurate, but doable.
If you want to know more, send me an email.

Chris van Lith

The bounding box of the shapefile looks like this:

Shape file: nlge_r02.shp
version: 1000
length: 87084
bounds:
        min: ESRIPoint[146,336.397334,413,909.002726]
        max: ESRIPoint[214,570.125542,463,988.803245]
records: 77

this might be out of range, but how can i repair that. This is a file
we got from esri itself, so that should be ok shouldn't it?
