[Qgis-user] Toporama in QGIS in UTM

[John Abraham]

Thanks for the success report.  I'll reinstall the latest QGIS and see if it helps.  I notice that regardless of what I do with the project CRS the coordinate box at the bottom of the window still shows lat-long type coordinates (you know -115, 51) not UTM type coordinates (-10188693, 15984693 in your example.)  When I try to zoom-to-layer it doesn't move, so maybe zoom-to-layer is broken with WMS?  I tried zooming out far enough to show it but I don't think I zoomed out to 10 to 15 million.
