Error with long and lat

[LaurenzBoettger]

Hi there, I'm fairly new to this, and I hope the question isn't too dumb. I have been getting the following error message:

Error: The elevatr package requires longitude in a range from -180 to 180.

It happens every time I set a negative value for .lat and a positive one for .long. I tried to run this for New Zealand and ended up with and area polygon of:
[,1] [,2] [1,] 175.0446 -39.48497 [2,] 176.7821 -39.48497 [3,] 176.7821 -37.74747 [4,] 175.0446 -37.74747 [5,] 175.0446 -39.48497

Which looks fairly similar to the Monterey example (which runs perfectly fine), but the combination of parameters doesn't. I hope you can help me with this issue. It's a great package, and I'd love to use it.

Cheers, Laurenz

Hey, check out this issue: https://github.com/h-a-graham/rayvista/issues/34#issuecomment-1154252859 basically you just have to install the Dev version of elevatr from GitHub and it should then work. Reminds me that I should just add elevatr as a remotes install on this package. Leave this issue open and I'll fix it on my end when I get a chance. For now though just install elevatr from GitHub and you should be up and running. 🤞
