[GRASS-user] Identification of projectiopn?

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I have two shape files of which I do not know the projection (and it seems
that the person I got them from does not know either...). The maps are from
the Keurboom nature reserve area in South Africa (
http://plak.co.za/moreinfo.php?id=347) and the two shp files have the
folowing bounding boxes:


In layer spatial reference system units : xMin,yMin 21340.4,-3755528.75 :
xMax,yMax 34244.9,-3749187.87

In layer spatial reference system units : xMin,yMin 17001.2,-3754438.15 :
xMax,yMax 37019.9,-3743929.77


I know this is a guessing game, but it must be a common projection - the map
datum is very likely (almost certainly) WGS84.


Any suggestions welcome,


Rainer
