Geographic Information Systems Asked by Martí Prat i Esquerdo on October 4, 2021
I am trying to define a polygon in GEE from a set of points I have defined in Google Earth Pro.
I have converted the Google Earth given coordinates as follows: [24°27’41.42"N], [36°23’20.51"E] = [24.461506, 36.389031], but when plotting the polygon in GEE i can’t seem to obtain the same shape nor centering.
The code in GEE:
ee.Geometry.Polygon(
[[[24.461506, 36.389031],
[16.445217, 40.374192],
[11.210819, 44.119544],
[16.188453, 54.824286],
[20.058042, 60.245078],
[24.364033, 59.358711],
[27.331878, 56.753617],
[27.096642, 51.463783],
[30.724233, 48.432361]]], null, false);
// Create a planar polygon.
var planarPolygon = ee.Geometry(polygon, null, false);
// Display the polygons by adding them to the map.
Map.centerObject(polygon);
Map.addLayer(polygon, {color: 'FF0000'}, 'geodesic polygon');
Map.addLayer(planarPolygon, {color: '000000'}, 'planar polygon');
What is my mistake?
You have your coordinates in the wrong order for Earth Engine. The appropriate order is [East-Coordinate, North-Coordinate]
.
So it should work by just switching the order of your coordinates.
