projection issue...

[Dean C. Mikkelsen]

Hi there,

One observation, you are using two different datum's. The TIGER File is
NAD83 and the States File is NAD27.

Look at using the PROJ4 library routines to convert one to the other.
This may lead you down the right path.

Cheers,
Dean

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] projection issue...


Thanks to everyone helping me to find the EPSG code, I was able to find
both the esri and epsg file in the proj directory.

Unfortunately, I had the epsg code correct (I was hoping it was wrong,
because the projection isn't working).  I'm trying to get a shapefile of
the Midwest states to work with a projected tiger county (epsg:26930).
I'm including the prj file for both the states and my county, along with
a mapfile and an image of what I'm getting.

I've been reading and searching, and I thought this should work, but my
north Alabama county is winding up in Maine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John Cole
