Re: Bounding Box - wizard
We are currently in the midst of transferring from Recorder 2002 to 6 here at Kent, and hopefully moving our reporting from Rplus (Mike Wideli's reporting system for R2002) to XML reports also, with Mike's help. As part of this, I am starting to compare reporting outputs so we can get roughly the same output (or better) than we do currently.
I have started my quest with the report wizard, and the following behaviour confused me mightly until I found Mike's post here. My bounding box area is in blue. Red boxes relate to records that are being picked up correctly, but records at the grid references in green failed to be picked up and those in yellow were picked up when they shouldn't have been. I have zoomed in here (see scale) but records from the whole of the bottom right-hand 1km square were not included, i.e. for a bounding box of TQ4749 to TQ 4999951999 records with a grid reference of TQ4949 are not picked up, even though those for TQ4951 are. From Mike's posts this seems to be a known issue from the wizard using lat/long instead of grid references. I was wondering if there is a reason that lat/long is used in this case - I realise it might be seen as a minor issue as it only affects records near the boundary, but it seems to be an unecessary one?
