[gdal-dev] Gdal_translate + Google + Wgs84

[Chaitanya kumar CH]

Roger,

Use gdalwarp instead. Set the -t_srs option to EPSG:4326
Extents can be set using -te
Since the projection is changing, specifying the size in percentage of the
original is not possible. You can use -tr or -ts for this.
Also, note the order of the arguments for filenames.
