Try, EPSG: 4326 for WGS84 http://nsidc.org/data/atlas/epsg_4326.html This is the metafile of one of the file. ~~~~~~~~~~~ General: Storage type of this layer: GML Source for this layer: /home/noli/Downloads/A_NZ/NL_EN/NL_EN.gml|layername=EN_1360049_0 Geometry type of the features in this layer: Point The number of features in this layer: 3 Editing capabilities of this layer: Extents: In layer spatial reference system units : xMin,yMin 48.4084,-66.6146 : xMax,yMax 54.472,-55.0224 Layer Spatial Reference System: +proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Noli _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
