[OSGeo Africa] Free gis tool to detect unknown coordinate systemof a shapefile

[Ayodeji Ogunode]

Hello Manfred,

I’m a current PhD student in South Africa working on remote sensing and I come encounter projection issues frequently.

I would definitely try your GIS tool.

Thanks for sharing

Regards,
Ayodeji

Hi Manfred,

I recently had a problem where we could not find coordinates for shapefiles, I will try it out and will be happy to give feedback

Regards
Thendo

Hello,

Last year i developed a free gis tool, which can detect and define the unknown projection of a ESRI shapefile. This tool was published last year at FOSS4G 2016 in Bonn.
 
Here you find a free downloadlink with description:

I want to ask you, if students in Africa have sometimes similar problems like Austrian students, if they have a shapefile with an unknown coordinate system.
 
I would be happy, if you have time to test my free software and inform me what you think about this approach.
 
Students in Austria like this tool and i decided to offer this tools without cost, because the majority of users are students, who have no money to buy this software.
 
Best regards from Austria,
