[gdal-dev] ogr2ogr shapefile to mapinfo tab: no SRS.

[Frans Knibbe | Geodan]

Hello Luca,

Thank you for your suggestion, but it does not seem to work. I tried in 
in different ways: editing the prj file of the shapefile and specifying 
an alternative prj file with the a_srs option. I also tried both ESRI 
WKT and OGC WKT. And I also tried 'DATUM["D_Netherlands_Bessel"' in the 
ESRI WKT case, because it was 'DATUM["D_Amersfoort"' originally. In all 
cases, the SRS in the output is still NonEarth.

Regards,
Frans
