Hi Listers,
I've been asked o help a school-going daughter of a friend of mine in
Doha (yes, this is "AfricaList" :-/ )
She has been given a shapefile without a projection file. The area is Al
Wakrah, just South of Doha airport.
The numeric values of the geometry coords are around 560000, 2782000 -
the second value looked like a distance from the Equator, so I tried UTM 39N
The scaling seems wrong, and it does not align with the coastline
(QND95) shapefile I have.
(I also tried EPSG:27039)
As you can see, projection-sleuthing is not one of my strengths.
Can anyone point me in a direction to try and solve this?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Zoltan
