Conversion to meters instead of degrees #60

Closed shabbirsafdar closed 7 years ago

shabbirsafdar commented 7 years ago

I noticed when I did a conversion to geojson from a .shp file that I ended up with geojson in an amount that had to be in meters, since the coordinates were way too large to be in degrees.

Is there a way to request this conversion be output in degrees, or is that set in the .shp file? There are too many points, and too great of a worry about inaccuracy to try doing a mathematical transformation on the resultant geojson.

There currently isn't a way to change the output conversion. I believe it is determined by what is set in the .shp file.

Thank you! That's what I suspected. Since I'm not an arcgis user myself, I've just asked the original file owner to send me a geojson in degrees, since that's what I needed.
