I am having trouble displaying ocean surface drifter tracks in the South
Pacific with ArcGIS 9.1. My positions are between 140E and 155W (WGS84) and
8-35 S. I cannot make a continuous map because I cant seem to get rid of
the Atlantic centered map view. Tried changing the central meridian to 180
and reprojecting the files with a 180 meridian, but no luck.
I was able to create continuous tracks by converting all positive longs to
negative, but then I get an unusable shapefile becuase of an inconsistent
extent error.
Has anyone had similar problems? Any help would be appreciated.
