Getting huge numbers in LatLon...

[NirX]

I am pretty sure this has something to do with projection coordinates rather than the GPS coordinates…
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me convert these coordinates back to normal GPS.
btw, for Israel, is that projection ok or should I have used EPSG:2039 ? as in here : http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/2039/

Here’s the site showing the problem. Just click around and you’ll get the read I am getting…
Thanks !

You need to create the map object as follows:

var wgs84 = new OpenLayers.Projection(“EPSG:4326”);
var merc = new OpenLayers.Projection(“EPSG:900913”);
var options = {
projection: merc,
displayProjection: wgs84,
units: ‘m’
};
OSMap = new OpenLayers.Map(“OSMap”,options);

The EPSG:2039 projection is not used in OpenStreetMap but rather internally by Israeli mapping agencies.
