<font size=2>Hi,<br><br>
I try to convert with oogr2ogr a MapInfo vector data (the file
&quot;Fhd03.TAB&quot; in the last MapInfo) with this projection
:<br><br>
$ ogrinfo Fhd03.TAB Fhd03 | more<br>
Had to open data source read-only.<br>
INFO: Open of `Fhd03.TAB'<br>
using driver `MapInfo File' successful.<br><br>

to latlong with this command : ogr2ogr -f &quot;MapInfo File&quot; -t_srs
'+proj=latlong' france_hydro.tab Fhd03.TAB Fhd03<br>
It works but the output seems have an offset of ~4.5°W...<br><br>
I failed too to translate to Shapefile : &quot;ERROR 1: Attempt to write
non-linestring (POLYGON) geometry to ARC type shapefile.&quot;<br>
I tried -lco SHPT=POLYGON and -nlt=POLYGON but it doesn't work.<br><br>
I use GDAL 1.2.6.<br><br>
Thanks in advance,<br><br>
