GDAL 1.4.2.0.
I have a map from Wisconsin DOT (USA). gdalinfo indicates this:
Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF
Size is 10750, 8488
Coordinate System is `'
Origin = (659653.722794383182190,352632.358040164515842)
Pixel Size = (0.329187501713504,-0.329168110366799)
Metadata:
TIFFTAG_XRESOLUTION=1200
TIFFTAG_YRESOLUTION=1200
TIFFTAG_RESOLUTIONUNIT=2 (pixels/inch)
Corner Coordinates:
Upper Left ( 659653.723, 352632.358)
Lower Left ( 659653.723, 349838.379)
Upper Right ( 663192.488, 352632.358)
Lower Right ( 663192.488, 349838.379)
Center ( 661423.106, 351235.369)
Band 1 Block=10750x8 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Red
Band 2 Block=10750x8 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Green
Band 3 Block=10750x8 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Blue
Provider indicates it is in a UTM coordinate system using NAD83.
I have tried many invocations of gdal_translate. I started with
variations on this:
gdal_translate -a_srs EPSG:2860 <src> <dst>
This adds the request coordinate system. This map is from Wisconsin
South. Key gdalinfo output:
Center ( 661423.106, 351235.369) ( 89d11'34.92"W, 46d59'25.93"N)
In the approximate center of the map, I am expecting Center lat/long
closer to this (approximate):
West 87°, 59.477 Minutes; North 43°, 48.340 Minutes;
I won't detail out all the variations as it may be clear to others what
I am doing wrong. I can provide them if needed.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
John
