Why Are My Buffered Points Oblong And Not Circle In Sql Server Management Studio - Spatial Results

Post a Comment
When I apply STBuffer(1) to a Point in SQL Server Spatial, they show up as an oblong circle, instead of a perfect circle. Why is this?

Solution 1:

The selected projection is Equirectangular, and not the more familiar Mercator that we see in Google Maps & Bing Maps. Change this and the points will show up as expected.
