Hello,

is there a way to reproject a shape file of the entire world (eg. http://www.cipotato.org/diva/data/misc/world_adm0.zip) from geographic coordinates (lat/lon) to UTM, using the ogr2ogr utility?
How do I manage the UTM zone?
In order to avoid distorsion, is it possible to suddivide the original file in more lat/lon file, one for every UTM zone?

Thanks a lot.
