shape file coordinates mismatch #858

Closed etnad1977 closed 1 year ago

etnad1977 commented 1 year ago

Sorry for this probably silly question. I am a totally beginner.

Why do i get a mismatch in the shape file coordinates I download from geojson.io tool and the coordinates on the right column? Am I misinterpreting the tool?

If i load the shape file in GE, it goes in place, whereas the coordinate list brings me miles away.

Thanks a lot

whereas the coordinate list brings me miles away.

What does this mean? Where/how are you using a coordinate list, and what is bringing you miles away? My suspicion is that you're reversing latitude and longitude in whatever you're testing these coordinates in.

Closing as we can assume this is not an issue with geojson.io. Happy to help you figure this out if you can provide more context.
