[mapserver-users] convert projection from UTM to WGS84 using proj

Mon May 21 05:43:34 EDT 2012

Hi,

Ogr2ogr is your tool for converting shapefiles. There must be something wrong in the predefined EPSG parameteres.  Give projections as +proj strings and you will have a full control over what happens. An example about conversion from EPSG:2393 into EPSG:3067

ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -s_srs "+proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=27 +k=1 +x_0=3500000 +y_0=0 +ellps=intl +towgs84=-96.0617,-82.4278,-121.7535,4.80107,0.34543,-1.37646,1.4964 +units=m" -t_srs "+proj=utm +zone=35 +ellps=GRS80 +units=m +towgs84=0,0,0,0 +no_defs" target.shp original.shp

Mapserver takes the parameters from the text file named "epsg" and it is easy to edit by hand. However, ogr2ogr does not use that file. Therefore you did not see any difference after your edits.

are there any example for this purpose
actually I added +x_0=500000. to ogr2ogr command but doesn't cahaged the
result :(
