Sorry for the lengthy email. Got a question about changing the projection for the following to WGS84:
I received shapefiles info for my neighborhood but the projection is in NAD_1983_StatePlane_Mississippi_West_FIPS_2302_Feet (NAD83 / Mississippi West (ftUS in QGIS) In my project settings I have WSG84 set as the default projection as well as layer units set to Decimal Degrees. For some reason unknown to me, it does not appear that the projection is displaying in WGS84. >From the Properties MetaData Tab, the following displays: In layer spatial reference system units : xMin,yMin 2349376.08,1066253.54 : xMax,yMax 2353354.03,1070858.08 Layer Spatial Reference System: +proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +no_defs >From the Coordinate windows at the bottom of QGIS canvas, the lat/lon displays as the following: 2351256, 1069360 When normally it displays in WGS84 as -90.155924, 32.439683 How do I go about changing to a WGS84 projection display and save those changes to the attributes. The following is a MetaData Extraction from the my Shapefiles.
