Stories made with Story Editor + 2019 Landsat have their waypoints in the wrong location #102

Closed pdille closed 3 years ago

pdille commented 4 years ago

Waypoints made with the Story Editor use pixel coordinates for the views. This unfortunately means that if a waypoint is made this way and the layers it use are lat/lng based and the projection changes (as was the case with the latest Landsat layer), they will no longer be at the right location.

Probably related: zoom levels appeared to change even with latlng views in the transition between landsat dimensions. From test by @hjhawkinsiv , here's earthtime.org with new landsat, versus a dev site with old landsat, showing first waypoint of Sahel in Peril:

Might it make sense to have an EarthTime mode for timelapse.js where we interpret pixel views and zoom/scale based on original landsat dimensions, and set that coordinate system in stone moving forward?

Consistent coordinate system implemented in the refactor branch and released. Closing bug.
