[Qgis-user] Converting UTM to geographical coordinates

[Manuel Spínola]

  Thank you very much Giovanni.

When I did the first option, it looks like the layer is still in UTM, 
but I don't have the .prj file.


For the second option, what I need to know for this particular 
projection in order to define the projection?  I mean, there is no CRTM 
(only for Costa Rica) in the QGIS predefined reference system.
Best,

Manuel
