Hi - was hoping that someone could assist me with a projection problem that i am experiencing in GMaps. We are using OpenZoom (open source DeepZoom project) to overlay custom maps onto the GMaps landscape and to then allow users to dynamically adjust the opacity etc.
I am exporting these maps with lat/lon projection, datum WGS84, as far as I can make out this is the projection system used by GMaps. The problem that I am having is that when out output these maps (using GlobalMapper and recording NE and SW coords), the aspect ratio of the output image is different to the ratio of the image once it is projected onto the GMaps base map (the ouput image is more square while projected onto GMaps it appears more rectangular). With a single flat map image this still works since GMaps 'stretches' my image according to the input coords and all line up fine. The problem is that we are using DeepZoom, the folder structure of which does not allow us to stretch/scale the various contained images. So things dont line up correctly... Was hoping that somebody may have some experience of this or be able to suggest a way of unifying these aspect ratios (seems like a projection issue to me) such that DeepZoom slices images at the desired ratio dimensions? Any help would be greatly appreciated...
