[OpenLayers-Users] also strange vector behavior (obviously I've messed up)

[Nicholas Efremov-Kendall]

Hi Eric,
It displays, but incorrorectly (offset by some factor I haven't checked,
down and to the left by a country or so). I manually reprojected the data
using GDAL from a shapefile originally collected in UTM. I've checked the
GML it does say it's in 4326. Regardless of the projection, why doesn't the
map.getCenter function work on that file? do you think it has to do with the
GML itself?
