[OpenLayers-Users] Question concerning display of own base maps with google maps

[Robert Buckley]

hi...

I posted 2 threads into the goeserver forum (below)regarding displaying my own 
topographic maps together with google maps.

I can display my own base layer in EPSG:4326 without a problem., but one thing 
is bugging me. The coordinates from my baselayer in EPSG:4326 

look like this...

bbox=976647.122,6686234.936,1369814.506,6934459.818
I thought wgs84 was in deegrees, so why are these in meters?

However, my vector layer which is also in wgs84 has this bbox

bbox=-25.386,0.0,11.059,52.77

?????

Also I would like to display my base layers with google maps. How can I do this? 


As far as I know, google maps in EPSG:900913 can´t be transformed.
That means I would have to transform my base layer from EPSG:4326 into 
EPSG:900913.



Thanks for any help,

Robert




OLD THREADS

hi,

I'll answer the question  mayself.....I changed projection: epsg900913 to 
projection: epsg4326 and it was displayed ok.

Does this mean that I can´t display my own epsg: base maps together with google 
maps?

thanks,

Robert

Betreff: [Geoserver-users] Coordinate system problem.

Hi,

I created an image pyramid which was in EPSG:4326 ie wgs84 using gdal_retile

When  I loaded it into geoserver it was accepted and displayed without a  
problem. however, the coordinates are not in lat/lon they are..(see  bbox)

geoserver/wms?service=WMS
&version=1.1.0
&request=GetMap
&layers=zgb:tk50
&styles=
&bbox=976647.122,6686234.936,1369814.506,6934459.818
&width=522&height=330
&srs=EPSG:4326
&format=application/openlayers

Geoserver reports the native coords as EPSG:4326 but this can´t be correct, can 
it?

When I look at the original Geotiff on my desktop it is displayed in lat/lon.

This is obviously a missunderstanding on my part, but what  is going on? 


thanks for the  tips,

Robert
