Hello,
We are having trouble using the new OSM data provided at osmdata.thinkgeo.com. It seems to be related to the projection and is likely something I'm missing. The old data (stuff that was pre-September 2012) lined up well, but the new data, when used with World Map Kit Data 2009 (spherical mercator) doesn't line up. Here's an example of the roads.shp file in Okinawa overlaid with World Map Kit data for the land mass:
I am loading the projection file that's included in the OSM data:
Dim proj4 As New Proj4Projection()
Dim prjFilePath As String = GeneratePrjFilePath(shapeFilePath)
Dim prjFileText As String = File.ReadAllText(prjFilePath)
proj4.InternalProjectionParametersString = Proj4Projection.ConvertPrjToProj4(prjFileText)
proj4.ExternalProjectionParametersString = Proj4Projection.GetGoogleMapParametersString()
layer.FeatureSource.Projection = proj4
Can you think of anything I'm missing? I've been fighting this for a while and can't seem to make any headway.
