Well done. The whole process in just a couple minutes. Big thanks.

Thank you Bernard! I found your tutorial more helpful than most of the courses that I have seen until now, including the paid ones.

Hi Bernard. I am using your tutorial for learning. I have faced few problems : 1. The shapefile is showing on map at one particular zoom level. when I zoom in to my area it displays no data(shapefile). Although the layer is checked. 2. You have used EPSG:900913, can I used EPSG:4326 for Pakistan? 3. you have used var extents = new OpenLayers.Bounds(4079939, -162296, 4131475, -127987); should I change them for my area? looking forward for your positive response. Thanks

[@tulongahidipo2425]

thumbs ups bro .Quick question, whats the path to finding the index,js and styling css file on my pc.

[@jolibird]

Hi, Thanks for this useful tutorial. I have a question for your code. var extents = new OpenLayers.Bounds(4079939, -162296, 4131475, -127987); This is not latitude and longtitude because Niarobi is coordinate is Latitude : -1.283253 | Longitude : 36.817245. How we can use latitude and longtitude to specify the bounding box and center?

[@yohannhazan5644]

I think for this video, he didn't use the Mercator Projection (geographic angular projection) for the Webmap and reproject from Mercator to the local projection of Kenya (surely a geographic metric projection)

[@yohannhazan5644]

In the code you see the projection is EPSG:900913

[@dimitristzelos4190]

Hello Benard. Thank you for sharing this project. I would like to ask two questions: 1) how you created the structure of the folders? 2) how you extract the shapefiles? 3) if we want to add our shapefiles we also have to change code from the folder? Thank you again!!!!!

One like is not enough. Thank you!!
