Hi list,<br><br>I have a shapefile containing points in the UK. I need the file in MapInfo TAB format. After converting, the projection seems to have been lost.<br><br>I have tried various ways of reprojecting in the hope the final TAB file will have them, but none seem to work so far.
<br><br>I have created a VRT file for the shapefile, with projection specified as <LayerSRS>WGS84</LayerSRS>. Converted to tab file using the command 'ogr2ogr -t_srs "+init=epsg:4326" sample.tab sample.vrt
<br><br>epsg 4326 is latlong WGS84.<br><br>This didn't work. Neither did specifying the full datum for latlong WGS84.<br><br>I then tried to convert from shp to tab and reprojecting at the same time. And then I tried to reproject the shapefile to shape again, then convert this shape to tab. None of these attempts worked.
<br><br>Can anyone shed some light on this please?<br><br>Cheers,<br>Xin<br>
