Hello Bart,
I experimented with my map trying to get coordinates for EPSG:4326 from my EPSG:32632.Map. What I did is changing the request from

http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms?bbox=277023.0864899452,5233434.01524883,923881.7291952965,6106592.061342626&styles=&Format=application/openlayers&request=GetMap&layers=topp:Deutschland&width=457&height=550&srs=EPSG:32632

to

http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms?bbox=*5.508,47.117,15.619,55.104*&styles=&Format=application/openlayers&request=GetMap&layers=topp:Deutschland&width=457&height=550&srs=EPSG:4326

Then I get my coordinates in Lat/Lon.
But: I didn't want to convert my 'mappicture'. It should remain in the same UTM-projection I rectified it to. So my result is just a half step forward.
Coordinates fine, map declined :-(

I discussed this theme in the Geoserver-List as well. There I was told about the proj4j-library - especially about Mike Adair sandbox (http://trac.openlayers.org/browser/sandbox/madair/lib). This is meant to reproject coordinates from UTM (for all SRS handeling UTM?) to EPSG:4326. But I was was only told where to find it. So far nobody seems to have experience with it neither knows if it's working. I also didn't find any tutorials how to deal with it.

Do you ever met this problem?

Best regards,
cuxland

Geoserver can reproject the GeoTiff for you to EPSG:4326. This is what OL
uses by default.

So just look at the examples/wms.html and add your Geoserver URL in there.

What do you mean with retrieve coordinates? Maybe the MousePosition Control
is what you are looking for. Add that Control to your Map and you'll see the
coordinates on mouse over.

Best regards,
Bart

Onderwerp: [OpenLayers-Users] Retrieving different coordinates
Datum: 29/11/07 10:51

Hello,
I must introduce myself as a Newbie that searched a week inside this list getting more and more confused.

I'm simply looking to an answer for this question:

I loaded a GeoTIFF to Geoserver (UTM32N/WGS84 = SRS:32632). Is it now possible to retrieve geographic coordinates (Lat/Lon/WGS84; SRS:4326) via
OpenLayers??

Just a hint where to find more information would be very helpful.

Exhausted (from searching) greetings,
cuxland
