The command line projection setting doesnt do anything, just causes and error.<br><br>So now im trying qgis, and using verious combinations. least im able to change the projection of the .shp files around, and this .gml file does move around when i change the projection.<br>
<br>According to this,<br><a href="http://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/geogratis/en/faq.html#q6">http://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/geogratis/en/faq.html#q6</a><br>it could also be NAD27 ... the projection does change when you get further north to the arctic circle.<br>
<br>Now that at least the .gml file can be directly converted to .shp (with the wrong projection) i can at least play around and try to find the best match :)<br><br>thanks,<br>sam<br>
