EPSG or CRS mismatch issues
Last updated
A valid EPSG code is required during upload because it defines how your spatial data relates to real-world coordinates.
Without it, Ellipsis Drive cannot correctly interpret or position your data on the map.
A Coordinate Reference System (CRS) defines how 2D coordinates in a dataset map to real-world locations on Earth.
It determines:
how coordinates are interpreted
how data is projected on a map
how transformations between coordinate systems are handled
EPSG codes are standardized identifiers for coordinate reference systems.
They are maintained in a public registry and are widely used across GIS tools and libraries as Spatial Reference System Identifiers.
Each EPSG code represents a specific:
coordinate system
projection
datum
or transformation rule
Ellipsis Drive uses EPSG codes to ensure:
correct spatial alignment of your data
consistent interpretation across systems
compatibility with GIS tools and web services
Incorrect or missing EPSG information can result in:
misplaced data on the map
distorted geometries
failed uploads

Ellipsis Drive visualizes all spatial data in EPSG 4326 by default, regardless of its original projection. Data can be reprojected for visualization in any CRS in external tools such as QGIS or ArcGIS.
When editing vector data via WFS-T, EPSG 4326 is used as the source CRS to ensure consistent synchronization. Other projections can still be served for visualization, but are not used for transactional edits.
