[Geomoose-users] Change Latitude and Longitude format

[Johan Forsman]

Yes, mine is similar but far more cumbersome. Initially the display kept changing position horizontally depending on the coordinate values and to avoid that I added some padding with leading zeroes and E/W/N/S designations. Now it (mostly) stays put.

Here is my hack.  The code below was inserted into the displayCoordinates function somewhere near line 1909.

lat_d = degrees.y;
lat_m = (lat_d - Math.floor(lat_d)) * 60;
lat_s = (lat_m - Math.floor(lat_m)) * 60;

lon_d = Math.abs(degrees.x);
lon_m = (lon_d - Math.floor(lon_d)) * 60;
lon_s = (lon_m - Math.floor(lon_m)) * 60;

The code below was inserted somewhere near line 1926:

html += Math.round(lat_d) + "\u00B0" + '  ' + Math.round(lat_m) + "'" + '  ' + lat_s.toFixed(4) + "''" + ', ' + Math.round(lon_d) + "\u00B0" + '  ' + Math.round(lon_m) + "''" + '  ' + lon_s.toFixed(4) + "''";

Johan,

Did you have something similar?

Ed

Ed/Brent:

Some time back I had a similar need to have simultaneous display of DMS and DD with fixed decimal places. My OpenLayers was 2.8 at the time (it still is), but I discovered that version 2.10 supposedly had an in-built "getFormattedlonlat" function that could do what I needed. I shamelessly adapted that function from the OpenLayers source and inserted it with several modification into compiled.js and it worked fine. The attached screenshot shows how it looks.

You may be able to directly use the function if you have a more current OpenLayers version than I do, otherwise I can share my extraordinarily inelegant hack.

Take care,
Johan.

Ed,

  Have a look at the displayCoordinates function in main.js.

Once we get  our issue tracker running, I'll add this as a requested feature.  In the mean time you may need to hack the function yourself.

Best Regards,

Brent Fraser

I would like to format the latitude and longitude output at the bottom of the map to DD MM SS.SSS.  The current format is DD.DDD.  What function do I need to modify?

Thanks,
