Convert point to lat lon

Question

I wonder, how can I get map click event's coordinates as lat,lon?

Here is my code:

map.on('click', function(evt) {
    var element = popup.getElement();
    var coordinate = evt.coordinate;

    var latLon = ol.proj.transform(coordinate, 'EPSG:3857', 'EPSG:4326');

    $(element).popover('destroy');
    popup.setPosition(coordinate);

---

Normally, coordinate value gives me an array etc: [48654.02545, 3265468.45455]

But I need lat lon etc:([39,54876,32,547821])

Abstract: I need to convert epsg:3857 coordinate to epsg:4326 coordinate (lat/lon)

Any idea?

Answer 1

If your map view projection is Web Mercator (EPSG:3857), which is the default, then the following should work:

map.on('click', function(evt) {
  var lonlat = ol.proj.transform(evt.coordinate, 'EPSG:3857', 'EPSG:4326');
  var lon = lonlat[0];
  var lat = lonlat[1];
  // …
});
