<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was wondering if there are any help files or guides on how to define a custom coordinate system to use with the ogr2ogr.exe utility. I am trying to use it to load a shapefile into a PostGIS database. The shapefile is in a custom Minnesota
County coordinate system. When I try to define the –a_srs I get an error message that says SRID is unrecognized. I’m assume this is because both OGR and PostGIS does not have the custom SRID defined. I’ve also tried -1 as the SRID but the utility doesn’t
like that either.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How would I define the custom projection so both OGR2OGR utility and PostGIS recognize it?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
