WKT Raster driver: Vertical Mapper/Northwood (.grc/.grd) files are loaded incorrectly

Description (last modified by warmerdam)

Using gdal2wktraster.py on .grc/.tab files the information in the database does not result in lat/long coordinates. .grc or .grd files contain X/Y coordinates, however the file also has lat/long information in it.

The raster loader script should convert the x/y coordinates to lat/long when loading in the database. Current implementation for these formats is not usable. The .tab file also contains some useful information but is not utilized by gdal2wktraster.py

I don't know why you think gdal2wktraster.py should use lat/long coordinates instead of projected coordinates. Please clarify.

The product appears to be properly georeferenced in a projected coordinate system.

comment:3 by jt2010, 13 years ago

we've used -s 4326 to convert to lat/long and it doesn't result in lat/long coordinates. The output is still in x/y coordinates.

Also tried to use gdaltransform to conver to tiff file with 4326 SRID but it didn't work either.

OK, two issues:

1) you do not seem to have supplied the actual gdal2wktraster.py commandline you used (or the source data file).

2) I believe gdal2wktraster.py is part of the wktraster/postgis project, not GDAL. In which case it should likely be reported in the postgis tracker if you believe there is a bug in gdal2wktraster.py.
