<DIV>Hallo Pieter,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I agree with Elizmay. The first set is in meters using 31 degree E as reference longitude. You need to project it to decimal degrees. Both use the WGS datum thus it should not be too painful.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The GIS does it on the fly, but I do not Apex's capabilities to do it. Read in the QGIS online Help "Working with projections"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope it helps</DIV>
<DIV> <BR>Cheers</DIV>
<DIV>Peter</DIV>
