[Gdal-dev] Is ogr2ogr the tool to use?

[Nelson, Dean]

Hello,
I am trying to convert the Hydro1k basin shapefiles from a "projected"
shapefile to a Lat/Lon shape file. I am doing that with the command:
 
ogr2ogr -t_srs WGS84 -f "ESRI Shapefile" outfile.shp infile.shp
 
But when the shapefile is viewed, it shows up about 17km north of the
correct data. SO the questions are:
 
1. Is this the best tool to do that with?
2. Did I do it right?
3. Is there a way to offset the data in ogr2ogr?
 
Regards,
