[Gdal-dev] ogr2ogr new user - converting shape to tab

[Hershey, Brian]

I'm trying to convert an ESRI shape file of Canada provinces to MapInfo
tab format using ogr2ogr from the FWTools shell.  The shape file is
unprojected Long/Lat format.
 
When I try this comand line...
 
ogr2ogr -f "MapInfo File" -nlt GEOMETRY province.tab province.shp
 
...  the resulting tab file is one forth the shape file size and very
low precision.  When zooming in other than full extent, the edges are
very blocking and some not conected.
 
I also tried...
 
ogr2ogr -f "MapInfo File" -a_srs "WGS84" province.tab province.shp
 
... with the same results.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
Thank you,
Brian
