GeoJSON – Troubleshooting Turf.js Point Never Found Inside or Within Features Loop

geojsonjqueryloopturf

I have a GeoJSON http://radikal.com.mx/distrito.json and all I am trying to do is find if a turf point that has a longitude and latitude is inside or within that GeoJSON. No matter what point I use I always get false.

This is based on the work from: Bill Chappell

Here is my Javascript:

// FILE: js/get-data.js
$(function() {
  var cluster = [];
  var features = [];
  var point = turf.point([-98.768159, 20.098287]); // Hgo | This should return one TRUE at least
  // var point = turf.point([-79.601038, 43.6565353]); // Toronto | This should always be FALSE
  var url = 'http://radikal.com.mx/distrito.json';

  $.getJSON(url, function(data)
  {
    features = data.features;

    for (var i = 0, len = features.length; i < len; i++)
    {
      // Get coordinates
      var is_inside = turf.inside(point, features[i]);
      console.log(is_inside);

      if (is_inside) {
        console.log('Found it inside');
      }
    }

    console.log(cluster);
  });
});

Here is my HTML

GeoJSON requires the coordinates to be in WGS-84 (4326) however your coordinates are not in Lat, Long. I'm guessing your using some projection that used meters. You need to re-project your data to WGS-84 then make your GeoJSON file.

You can check your file in http://geojsonlint.com/ or http://geojson.io.

Lat coordinates are never greater then 90, long never greater then 180.

What you have: {"type":"Polygon","coordinates":[[[548716.5712466406,2291522.454105338],[548709.6603264149,2291623.0293460153],[548707.9638823455,2291833.4553844943],
