<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi Kate,<br><br></div>I have quickly checked this export <a href="http://hot-export.geofabrik.de/jobs/2755">http://hot-export.geofabrik.de/jobs/2755</a> on ArcGIS 10.1 and couldn't find any major issue. Do you remember what bugs were mentioned? Then I can look further into this particular direction.<br>
<br></div>The only thing is that ArcGIS doesn't recognize the coordinate system (Pseudo-Mercator) and it needs to be defined manually. It's not a problem with the Export tool, however. I think the confusion comes from the coordinate system itself, because its definition is slightly different in ArcGIS.<br>
<br></div>prj file from the HOT Export:<br></div>PROJCS["WGS 84 / Pseudo-Mercator",GEOGCS["Popular Visualisation CRS",DATUM["Popular_Visualisation_Datum",SPHEROID["Popular Visualisation Sphere",6378137,0,AUTHORITY["EPSG","7059"]],TOWGS84[0,0,0,0,0,0,0],AUTHORITY["EPSG","6055"]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],UNIT["degree",0.01745329251994328,AUTHORITY["EPSG","9122"]],AUTHORITY["EPSG","4055"]],UNIT["metre",1,AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]],PROJECTION["Mercator_1SP"],PARAMETER["central_meridian",0],PARAMETER["scale_factor",1],PARAMETER["false_easting",0],PARAMETER["false_northing",0],AUTHORITY["EPSG","3785"],AXIS["X",EAST],AXIS["Y",NORTH]]<br>
<br></div>prj file from ArcGIS:<br></div>PROJCS["WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137.0,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",0.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",0.0],PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_1",0.0],PARAMETER["Auxiliary_Sphere_Type",0.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0]]<br>
<br></div>One workaround would be for the export tool to output unprojected layers (WGS84). Then anyone can project it into any coordinate system so that distance and surface calculations are correct.<br><br></div>Cheers<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
Occasionally I hear about bugs in using the data retrieved from the<br>
HOT Export tool (<a href="http://hot-export.geofabrik.de/" target="_blank">http://hot-export.geofabrik.de/</a>). These are primarily<br>
from ArcGIS users.<br>
<br>
Personally I don't run Windows, nor do I have access to ArcGIS so I can't check.<br>
<br>
Do we have any ArcGIS users on the list that could spend some time<br>
using the Export tool and looking for issues?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
-Kate<br>
