[Qgis-user] google layers plugin projection

[maning sambale]

benoit,

Thanks!  EPSG:900913 is not available in the CRS in QGIS 1.4.  I tried
looking for it in spatialreference.org and the closest was
http://spatialreference.org/ref/sr-org/6627/ which I added as a custom
SRS my vector didn't match even with OTF enabled.

Then I open my shapefile (not raster), in whatever projection it is, and display and size it to the wanted window. Finally, I use the Google Layers plugin to retrieve and display a Google raster that fits the window.
