Convert Lat/Longs to X/Y Co-ordinates
- by michael
I have the Lat/Long value of New York City, NY; 40.7560540,-73.9869510 and a flat image of the earth, 1000px × 446px.
I would like to be able to convert, using Javascript, the Lat/Long to an X,Y coordinate where the point would reflect the location.
So the X,Y coordinate form the Top-Left corner of the image would be; 289, 111
Things to note:
don't worry about issues of what projection to use, make your own
assumption or go with what you know
might work
X,Y can be form any corner of the image
Bonus points for
the same solution in PHP (but I
really need the JS)
