<p dir="ltr">Hi,<br>
I am assuming QGIS cannot read this projection? If it could, it would show up in the user defined projections. You could look here (http://www.epsg-registry.org) for more information. </p>
<p dir="ltr">On way is to try out your different options. Open the layer in one code then open the open layer plugin (you need to install that plugin first). Make sure you have "projection on the fly" activated on your options because open layer will change your project projections.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you are not in the right spot, right click the layer and select another projection. Zoom to layer extent then see if it helps. You could also download some open street map layer of the region (vector menu) , to help out.<br><br><br></p>
