Hi list,
I have a shapefile containing points in the UK. I need the file in MapInfo TAB format. After converting, the projection seems to have been lost.
I have tried various ways of reprojecting in the hope the final TAB file will have them, but none seem to work so far.
I have created a VRT file for the shapefile, with projection specified as <LayerSRS>WGS84</LayerSRS>. Converted to tab file using the command 'ogr2ogr -t_srs "+init=epsg:4326" sample.tab sample.vrt
epsg 4326 is latlong WGS84.
This didn't work. Neither did specifying the full datum for latlong WGS84.
I then tried to convert from shp to tab and reprojecting at the same time. And then I tried to reproject the shapefile to shape again, then convert this shape to tab. None of these attempts worked.
Can anyone shed some light on this please?
Cheers,
Xin
