OGCKML - disable coordinate system transformation

Is there anyway to disable the automatic coordinate transformation to LL-WGS84?

 

I am creating kml from csv files derived from Oracle Spatial data in UTM coords. The kml is consumed in an app that overlays it with GeoPDF files also in UTM coords...because of this the kml placemarks are shifted...?

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

HI Mike,

 

 

The automatic conversion omay be prevented through removing coordinate system definition from the features before writing them into KML. Try the CoordinateSystemRemover transformer.

...sorry, the OGCKML writer failed when features have no coordinate system. It seems that there is no way to disable the automatic coordinate system conversion of the OGCKML writer.

 

So, you may have to re-convert the coordinate system from LL-WGS84 to UTM when writing GeoPDF.
