Apologies if this is the wrong list for this question, it's more of an openlayers thing but I think it's also mainly an OSM thing and I'm pretty sure it's fairly fundamental and that people here will know the answer and reasons behind this.
<br><br>Can someone explain to me the issues with OSM and the OpenLayers. I'm interested in combining layers of data, in particular a KML file.<br><br>Here's my example: <a href="http://www.bristolbeat.co.uk/phpmap/openstreetmap.html">
http://www.bristolbeat.co.uk/phpmap/openstreetmap.html</a><br><br>What I'm finding is, the co-ordinates system is different. Using the OpenLayers WMS base map, everything is cool, but using OSM maps (I've taken code here from information highway) the projection / co-ordinates are totally different. In particular, my kml data is mostly points in Bristol, UK, but with the OSM layers it appears off the coast of Africa. It looks like the latitude that is out.
<br><br>Given that this kml data is standard lat lon co-ordinate values, it seems like the osm data must be incorrect, but surely that's my mistake?<br><br>Any help appreciated.<br><br>mike<br><br>
