[OpenLayers-Users] Display Coordinates

[Phil Scadden]

Okay, you have added displayProjection.
So looking at the formatOutput function, I see.
lonLat now comes into the function as lat/lon in 4326.
you convert to mercator
However lonLat.transform changes lonLat.

try
var geoCoor = lonLat.clone();
   geoCoor.transform(geographic, mercator);
var lat = lonLat.lat;
var long = lonLat.lon;
var ns = OpenLayers.Util.getFormattedLonLat(lat);
var ew = OpenLayers.Util.getFormattedLonLat(long,'lon');
return '<div style=\"color: green; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; 
background-color: white; width: 700px; text-align: left;\">Coordinate: ' 
+ ns + ', ' + ew + ' (' + (Math.round(geoCoor.lat * 10000) / 10000) + ', 
' + (Math.round(geoCoor.lon * 10000) / 10000) + ')' + '</div>';
}

Get used to using firebug or similar. It makes it easy to see what is 
going on. Put breakpoint in formatOutput and then watch the values.
