Using British National Grid Data with ArcGIS Server Google Maps Extension

DarrylHilton — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 07:31:45 GMT

Hi

I am pretty new to this end of things. I have created some code using various sources to create a map window which uses the Google maps extension to plot data from my ArcGIS Server within the view window, and then allow users to click on a record and retirieve attributes of each record.

My problem is the data is mis-aligned (varies slightly but is approx 120 metres off) which I am assuming id down to the chane between projection systems for each. (As I am in the UK we use British National Grid, and google maps uses WGS1984).

Googlemaps is the preferred background, so is there any way to ensure the data line up as it should? See code below:

Alternatively, how would I do the same using background maps on my own server if this is not possible?

Darryl,

Take a look at this blog:

Thanks thats has sorted me perfectly.

While I am here, but may need another thread as it's not strictly speaknig the same issue:

On this same map, I currently have the attribute data I require coming up as a pop up witin the googlemap frame. I ideally could with those values, as well as the coordinates, writing to a box outside the map view (the end goal being to populate an external database using Web Services)

Darryl,

It would be probably be better to start a new thread under the appropiate api you are using as the answer will differ depending on which language you are using (flex,silverlight,javascript).

Then you can mark this thread as answered 😮
