So, OpenLayers wants to use a single well-known number to describe the ‘Google Projection’ I talked about earlier. 54004\/54005\/41001 are all ‘well known’ as being a standard Mercator projection. Which is not the Google Projection.<\/p>\n
So, in addition to http:\/\/spatialreference.org\/ref\/user\/google-projection\/ \/ http:\/\/spatialreference.org\/ref\/user\/6\/ , we need something we can use in “SRS” in WMS — an EPSG code, such as it was.<\/p>\n
In order to pick one that doesn’t conflict. <\/p>\n
It’s the ‘Google’ projection — so we picked 900913. (Google. In 1337-speak.)<\/p>\n
Use it. Love it. Promote it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
