Shape map extending from central point
Hi all I have a custom shape map based on UK LSOA boundaries. While the data visualises fine in QGIS, it jumps out from a central point to present a warped map in PowerBI. There is also no visibl...
export it from mapshaper using wgs84.--> "-proj wgs84"
You might want to simplify the map first also, so that it doesn't take too long to render in powerbi.
I also had this problem, but none of the solutions seemed to work. After looking at the JSON in a text editor, I tried replacing:
"transform": {
"scale": [
1.777329117207265,
1.7654004184142325
],
"translate": [
170990.34939999972,
5425574.183800001
]
With:
"transform": {
"scale": [
0.000011857228404904743,
0.000007559092235562255
],
"translate": [
-110.64553919951076,
49.98942538559014
]
I'm not a GIS person, so I have no idea what this does, but it worked. I hope nobody else has this problem and it was just me, but just in case I thought I'd note it here. I doubt the specific numbers matter, I just had two shape files that worked and compared the ones that didn't to them.
