Your original data is probably not 4326. Do you have any clue what
projection it is in? Where did you get it from?

Hello,
I'm new to PostGIS and this has to be a cakewalk for
you experienced users, but your help would be greatly appreciated. I
have a PostGIS enabled database that contains polygon data from a
shapefile using SRID 4326. All I want to do at this point is mark the
centers of all of my polygons in Google Maps. I've written my
query, and it works great:
select astext(centroid(poly))
from zones
returns (a bunch of):
POINT(-13057223.7425678 6208110.75868711)
However, I have no idea what to do with this point data. Google maps
expects lat and long; how can i convert this? In another forum a user
suggested dividing by 10, but that's a point in Northern Canada,
this point
should be in NE Washington State.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated
