Re: [idvusers] IDV and shapefiles

Jim-

I would submit that as a support request to support-idv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. That would indicate a bug in the projection code. Supplying an underlying image that would show the correct location would be helpful. I tried the urban area background map, but the lifts are just on the edge of the available areas.

Jeff et al.:

Much thanks. Reading the .zip file rather than the .shp file does the
job...almost. Unfortunately, there is a positioning error of perhaps 0.1
to 0.2 degrees lat-lon. I'll take a look into this later, but if others
have seen this and know of a quick fix, let me know.

Thanks,

Jim

I'd like to include ski lift shape files in some of the
products we are generating here. These are available for the
state of Utah at:

However, I haven't been able to get them to plot using the
add your own map option or directly via the data chooser. Is this
functionality presently built
into IDV?


I tried out the IDV (the newest version) with the statewide .zip file
and it loads and displays fine. You can either load it as a data
source or through the Map Display->Edit->Add your own map menu.
