[R-sig-Debian] spTransform

[Thierry Onkelinx]

Dear Abed,

This is rather a question for r-gis-geo

Try two things:

1) simplify the CRS of the transformation
pointsTransformed <- spTransform(pointsutm, CRS("+proj=longlat"))

2) check the projection of the original data

Best regards,

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say
what the experiment died of. ~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher
The plural of anecdote is not data. ~ Roger Brinner
The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.
