[MetaCRS] EPSG 4269

[Hugues Wisniewski]

Hi Tom,

Following Frank's answer, I just found this ticket logged 22 months ago:
http://trac.osgeo.org/metacrs/ticket/3

CS-Map uses these values:
        MIN_LNG: 194 21 00W
        MAX_LNG:  45 44 00W
        MIN_LAT:  12 56 00N
        MAX_LAT:  88 27 00N

Spatial Reference shows
-52.0000, 14.2500, 172.0000, 83.2000

If these values were set like that, that would be the equivalent of:
        MIN_LNG: 186W
        MAX_LNG:  52W
        MIN_LAT:  14 30 00N
        MAX_LAT:  83 12 00N

On http://www.epsg-registry.org/ EPSG shows
West Bound Longitude 167.65
East Bound Longitude -47.74
North Bound Latitude 86.45
South Bound Latitude 14.93

Tim,

I believe that spatialreference.org<http://spatialreference.org> is representing the latitude range inverted, presumable due to confusion about dateline crossing boxes.

Best regards,
Frank

Are the bounds indicated for epsg projection 4269 (http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4269/) correct?  Shouldn't they be centered on North America rather than Europe & Asia?
