Tip: how to find the lon/lat for your rectangles more easily

Open edevnull opened this issue 8 years ago • 6 comments

Use this google page: https://google-developers.appspot.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/full/rectangle-event

Then draw the rectangle and use the popup information to copy paste the lon/lat into the config.json

Example:

Man I spent over an hour last night making 6+ boxes perfect using latlong.net and viewWork.html, this would have made it a lot faster! I knew something like this much exist but I couldn't find it.

Much appreciate your posting it! Thank you.

@edevnull Can someone explain why is there 2 lat1,long1,lat2,long2?

[lat1,long1, lat2,long2], [lat1,long1, lat2,long2]

@Damananth because it's an example of using two locations.. two boxes.

I used six in my recent scan in order to scan three different areas I hunt in (a total of only ~1sqkm) instead of having to run separate scans and separate workers etc.

You don't need the comma if you're only doing one cord.

Since the posted version has NE and SW, whereas it seems this project prefers NW and SE, I whipped up a quick fiddle with the correct coordinates set, so you can copy paste directly rather than worrying about mixing the coordinates.
