Hi Nicholas, your assumption regarding your source UTM Zone beeing UTM 32N is wrong.
Your coordinates are from Tunisia. And Tunisia is UTM 32S, not UTM 32N: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/LA2-Africa-UTM-zones.png But as you can see here EPSG:32632 is the right result of a conversion from UTM Zone 32S to EPSG: http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/?search=32632&srtext=Search Question remains why your coordinates from Tunisia are displayed in Algeria. I wonder if it is OK to just use EPSG:32632 as a projection for your data, or if one would have to do math on the coordinates to. After all your coordinates have been recorded in *WGS84, UTM 32S.* Jan On Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 6:08 PM, Nicholas Efremov-Kendall < [email protected]> wrote: > > Hello all, > > I believe this is more of a gis question, than for OpenLayers, but the > problem manifests itself in openlayers and I'm having some trouble > diagnosing it.
