I have followed all the instructions to get them to to project the same but they still will not overlay each other. When I check the CRS for each layer they are the same. I have set the project CRS to be the same. The only difference that I can find is that the scales of the two layers are totally different. The one scale is 1:7397941 and the other is 1:-<a href="tel:2147483648" value="+12147483648" target="_blank">2147483648</a> (the minus sign is correct). This is just too weird. Can anyone explain what is happening (so I can rectify it myself in future) and how to go about correcting this to get the right display?<div>
