Small update... the result is not really rotated -90, but it looks like lat and lng have gotten flipped. The raw data has lat, lng, and perhaps ogr2ogr was expecting lng, lat? If so, is there an option to flip the data as it converts? > > Also, I was expecting these files to convert into POLYGONs, however the > resulting geometry was POINTs.
