Hi Folks,
I'm in a bit of a pickle. I am preparing some maps for a grant
proposal and wanted to add some good vector maps for lakes and
oceans. The problem is these vector maps are in latitude/longitude
and I need to convert them to Irish National Grid. I tried using
v.proj in GRASS but ran into problmes (and that is a different list
group anyway). After searching the internet I discovered CRS.
I made sure properties was set to IRENET95/Irish Transverse Mercator
and checked Enable 'on the fly' CRS transformation. Then I right
clicked the vector layer and selected "Set Layer CRS" and set it,
again, for IRENET95/Irish Transverse Mercator. If I accept what is
there already as right, all the lakes wound up in South America. It
looks like the lat/long numbers didn't convert over. Is there a way
to manually move them into position and make it away that this is
it's right and proper position under IRENET95/Irish Transverse
Mercator?
If the vector data is in lat/lon, you should set the vector layer CRS to
EPSG:4326, and not the Irish Grid.
HTH,
Andre Joost
