Thismust be a stupid newbie question but why are my lat lon vales out?<br><br>In the example code, I have:<br><br> lon = lon * 20037508.34 / 180;<br> lat = Math.log(Math.tan( (90 + lat) * PI / 360)) / (PI / 180);<br> lat = lat *
20037508.34 / 180;<br> <br><br><br>Why are we converting values like this? There must be some reason but I don't get it.<br><br>PS: Is the API documentation down? I get a 404 error on every page, e.g. <a href="http://openlayers.org/doc/reference.html#OpenLayers.Marker">
