Could someone help me understand the coordinate system in an imported
OSM road network? I understand OSM is in WGS84 coordinates. I want to
import the OSM road network into a projected coordinate system in UTM
zone 18 (Virginia, USA). Below is the header and first few lines of my
imported network.
Is my interpretation of these parameters correct?
"netOffset" = the x,y offset in meters from the SUMO network origin to
the UTM zone origin
"convBoundary" = the x,y coordinates in meters of the Lower Left and
Upper Right corners of the imported network
"origBoundary" = the LAT,LON coordinates of the source data, in this
case, in WGS84
My issue is that when I use an off-line coordinate system converter (or
use PROJ.4 directly) to convert the netOffset in UTM to WGS84, this does
not result in the LAT,LON of the original boundary as I expected. In
fact, the result is close, but it about 200m off.
Am I misinterpreting something?
Thanks, in advance,
