Wrong projection in OSM map?
-
Hi there.
I found that Navigator FREE with OSM maps distorts square angles. I.E. all buildings became not square.
Wrong projection, map conversion bug or some setting, which I dont found?
(I have 1440x900 display if that counts) -

Hi, can you give me example (coordinate, or better object ID)? There could be also problem with lines decimation and/or reduction of precision of coordinates.
thanks

Seems like distortion changes over the map - some parts of Moscow looks ok. -
Yes, the distortion changes over the map - I can confirm that your example is caused by the projection. We use Miller projection (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_cylindrical_projection) and for that area the top angle is 101degrees when measured from the map ...

Hello Takuto,
after your comment we also integrated "World - Mercator cylindrical projection" into version 11.x so the large buildings will look better.
thanks

Thank you, mdx! Will try ver 11, if it avialable.
