Geographical coordinates has minor different from google map.

[liu.yan]

I grabbed resources from google earth to experiment the landscape plugin. After the terrain is imported, I converted a geographical coordinate to Cartesian by calling GeodeticPivot::getEllipsoid::toECF.  But the result did not match the google map, why?

 

The two Images demonstrate the difference. The tested geographical coordinate is:

 

latitude:        31.302164

longitude:    121.51

altitude:        0

 

 

And, by the way, do you have any plane to support WMS service in future version?

Hi liu.yan,

 

Google Earth model is using great circle math for coordinates. Are you sure that you are not using Accurate mode for Ellipsoid inside Editor? Could you please check the results with Fast mode?

 

Also, if these doesn't help, could you please send us a minimal test scene with Fast Ellipsoid and your data for debug?

 

About WMS - can't say right now, I don't have any information about it :(

Thanks!
