i am coding with R and RStudio. I have a set of polygons in one in my global environment called buek250_shapefile. I am able to plot them with leaflet.
For the next step I wrote a function which gets lat and lon values, and should give back information about the shape which haqs the shortest distance to the next polygon shape.
My problem: I always get back the same polygon shape for all lat lon values I am trying. And the computed distances are between 5000 and 7000km. But all my shapes and lat lon values are in Germany, and Germany is not so big.
My data: https://download.bgr.de/bgr/boden/BUEK250/shp/buek250_mg_utm_v55.zip
Can anyone here help me please?
Thank you very much
