Hello,

have anyone an idea how to convert a spatial layer that is in WGS84 =
projection and in degrees into Mercator projection that is olso in =
degrees?
Currently I use such syntax:
ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" target.shp source.tab -s_srs srsfile
srsfile: +proj=3Dmerc +ellps=3Dbassel +lat_ts=3D0N +lon_0=3D110E =
+k=3D0.997 +x_0=3D3900000 +y_0=3D900000 +no_defs
and I got proper projection on output but in meters.

Big thanks in advance for any information.

Krzysztof Chodak
