Hello,
<br class=""><br class="">I have a csv file with a list of coordinates. for example one of them:
<br class="">X Y
<br class="">12374462.4355 4877977.8396
<br class=""><br class="">notice the (to me at least) strange X coordinate: in the 12millon range.
<br class=""><br class="">I know the point should land somewhere near the Kazach town of Shalkya, with coordinates in the EPSG3857 (WGS 84 pseudo mercator) of +/- X: 750800 Y: 5472000
<br class=""><br class="">If I start at 0 lat and 0 long, I’m off about 5000KM.
<br class=""><br class="">How can I define which sourceCRS to use? How to treat this dataset for further use?
<br class=""><br class="">Thanks for any suggestion.
<br class=""><br class="">Joris
