Ogrinfo will tell something if the shapefile bundle includes .prj file or then you can just open the .prj file with text editor and see how it looks like. It does not contain EPSG code directly but you can compare the ESRI Well Known Text strings with the ones from http://spatialreference.org/ If the shapefile did not come with the .prj file the best thing to do is to ask from where you received the data. If it is not possible then you will need to guess. Open the shapefile with some GIS program and compare it with some other dataset with a known projection. Reproject the reference data to other projections with ogr2ogr if needed and try again. When vectors match you have found it. -Jukka Rahkonen- _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
