<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Hi Listers,</span><br>
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I've been asked o help a school-going daughter of a friend of mine in Doha (yes, this is "AfricaList" :-/ )</span><br>
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">She has been given a shapefile without a projection file. The area is Al Wakrah, just South of Doha airport.<br>
</span><br>
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">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</span><br>
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The scaling seems wrong, and it does not align with the coastline (QND95) shapefile I have.<br>
</span>(I also tried EPSG:27039)<br>
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
</span><br>
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">As you can see, projection-sleuthing is not one of my strengths.</span><br>
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Can anyone point me in a direction to try and solve this?<br>
</span><br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Zoltan <o:p></o:p></p>
