I have opened a shape file of the U.S. showing U.S. Congressional Districts. Alaska does not appear correctly in the Map View window of Quantum GIS. I have previously opened this file using ArcGIS without this problem. Here is the link to the file I'm using:
http://nationalatlas.gov/atlasftp.html#cgd110p The title is "Congressional Districts of the United States - 110th Congress <http://nationalatlas.gov/mld/cgd110p.html> " and the zip file is cgd110p020.tar.gz <http://edcftp.cr.usgs.gov/pub/data/nationalatlas/cgd110p020.tar.gz> . So, does anyone know why Alaska does not look right? I need to be able to work with this file as part of an important job assignment. I am a novice w/ GIS, btw. Thanks, Roger
