<div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif"><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div>I am new user of Qgis, and new on GIS too. I have tried to figure out what is the explanation for what I supposed is something that I am misunderstanding.<br>
<br>Using Google Earth I zoomed into a small region and captured the image using print screen. I supposed that Google Earth CRS was WGS 84 (EPSG:4326) for that small area (a city). Now, using Google Maps I selected four specific well and easy referenced points into the image to get geographics coordinates (longitude and latitude). In Qgis Raster/Georeferencer/Georeferencer I added those points once I first added the PNG raster file in this plugin considering that CRS was WGS 84 (EPSG:4326). I saved the points in file.png.points file. In Transformation Setting of this plugin I left the default values, but I selected Create world file and changed
 the Target SRS to WGS 84 / UTM zone 14N (EPSG:32614). Start georeferencing button produced a world file for PNG image.<br><br>In a new Qgis session I opened PNG file (with world file present) and Qgis asked me what CRS I wanted to define. If I select WGS 84 / UTM zone 14N I can see how coordinates are changing when I move the mouse over the image, but that coordinates are geographics (longitude and latitude). If I select just WGS 84 (EPSG:4326) then I can see UTM coordinates changes when I move the mouse over the image. But ĦI expected the opposite!<div style="font-style:normal;font-size:16px;background-color:transparent;font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif">
