[OSGeo Africa] Free gis tool to detect unknown coordinate system of a shapefile

[manfred at egger-gis.at]

Hello,

Last year i developed a free gis tool, which can detect and define the unknown projection of a ESRI shapefile. This tool was published last year at FOSS4G 2016 in Bonn.
 
Here you find a free downloadlink with description:

I want to ask you, if students in Africa have sometimes similar problems like Austrian students, if they have a shapefile with an unknown coordinate system.
 
I would be happy, if you have time to test my free software and inform me what you think about this approach.
 
Students in Austria like this tool and i decided to offer this tools without cost, because the majority of users are students, who have no money to buy this software.
 
Best regards from Austria,
