[OKGIS] Oklahoma County .shp File Projected in Miles

[Brown, Scott]

Frankly, I'm a little disappointed that the ENS company can't do this themselves, especially since their software is base on ESRI software.  Seems like a disservice to the client.  Oh well, sounds like you've got it taken care of now.

Brad,

 

Can you educate us? I've not ever heard of this - as per my response.

Neil,

This is a fairly easy operation. I will take this offline and see if I can help.

The City of Nichols Hills has recently purchased a ENS (Emergency Notification System) often referred to as a reverse 9-1-1 system, which allows the City to contact residents by telephone, pager, cell phone, etc. in the event of emergencies. This system uses ESRI-based software to allow operators to select notification areas by drawing a circle or square on a map. The company selling the product has requested that the City provide the GIS data to operate this feature. We supplied them with data for Oklahoma County that was a centerline file in a .shp format as per their instructions.

 

Now the ENS company states that the data we supplied them is projected in LAT/LONG feet and they need the data projected in LAT/LONG miles. Does anyone have this data available or have the ability to re-project our data. We do not have a GIS department or the ESRI products to make this conversion ourselves. The format for the data is as follows:

 

----------

 

Projection: NAD_27 or NAD_83, projection in Lat/Long "MILES"
Although other projections can be viewed and selections can be made from them, there is functionality that will be lost if the above stated projection does not match.

 

Required: Street or Centerline file in a .shp format.  This centerline file should contain standard geocoding data fields such as:
L_F_ADD (From Left Address 'Left Low Address')
R_F_ADD (From Right Address 'Right Low Address')
L_T_ADD (To Left Address ' Left Low Address')
R_T_ADD (To Right Address 'Right High Address')
Prefix (Street Name Prefix) ie:  "W" 42snd Street
Name (Street Name) ie: 4700 "Vincent" St South
Type (Street Type) ie: 4700 Vincent "St" South
Suffix (Street Name Suffix) ie: 4700 Vincent St "South"
ZipL (Zip Code on left side of street)
ZipR (Zip Code on right side of street)
**Field names do not need to be exact.  Zip fields, as well as the prefix and suffix fields, are optional, although very useful in ensuring optimal accuracy.

 

Additional Layers (Optional):  Layers such as hydrology, parks, railroads, airports, highways, etc. may be helpful in creating a more visually appealing project, with useful points of reference.  If you are not sure which layers can/should be used, it is better to submit many layers, which will be used at the discretion of the Avtex representative creating the project.

------------

 

Does anyone have a copy of Oklahoma County data in this projection, or have a suggestion on what we should do?
