Hi Nicholas,<br><br>your assumption regarding your source UTM Zone beeing UTM 32N is wrong.<br><br>Your coordinates are from Tunisia. And Tunisia is UTM 32S, not UTM 32N:<br><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/LA2-Africa-UTM-zones.png">http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/LA2-Africa-UTM-zones.png</a><br>
<br>But as you can see here EPSG:32632 is the right result of a conversion from UTM Zone 32S to EPSG:<br><a href="http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/?search=32632&srtext=Search">http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/?search=32632&srtext=Search</a><br>
<br>Question remains why your coordinates from Tunisia are displayed in Algeria.<br><br>I wonder if it is OK to just use EPSG:32632 as a projection for your data, or if one would have to do math on the coordinates to.<br>
After all your coordinates have been recorded in <b>WGS84, UTM 32S.</b><br><br>Jan<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 6:08 PM, Nicholas Efremov-Kendall <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:n.e.kendall@gmail.com">n.e.kendall@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Jan provided me with some very helpful assistance, which led me to the conclusion that my projection was wrong. I'm trying to display gps point originally recorded in UTM 32N. I had mistakenly believed this was EPSG 22332, but 36232 is actually what I was going for. My problem is this: I have the points overlaid on a wms server (thanks to Jan) but they're in the wrong spot. However, when I change the EPSG code, the points don't move. Does anyone have a suggestion for why they don't move? and or for how to crack this nut.<br>
