Hi,
My understanding of map projections is a bit rusty so I hope anyone can
point out where I am wrong.
I have a vector map source in shapefiles where it's .prj file has only
the following definition
GEOGCS["Geographic Coordinate System",DATUM["WGS84",SPHEROID["GRS
1980",6378137,298.2572220960423]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]]
When the map loaded, I can confirm that the map is wrong by it's
shifting to the north by a few hundred meters.
I can use :
OFFSET 0 70
in the STYLE object but it doesn't seem like the right thing to do.
I am not very sure if the issue lies with projection or the map source
and if there's a specific projection setting I must use.
Regards,
Ben
