enter image description hereI am trying to change the CRS of one shapefile that is originally in NAD27 to WGS84. When I proceed to make the change, I still continue to see the file in UTM coordinates... I've tried to save the file as a new one with the and change it at the "set layer CRS" option... Do you know another alternative?

You should include the program you are using... But if your using QGIS I would avoid using the "Save as" option and instead open QGIS "Toolbox" find the QGIS Algorithm for Vector - "Reproject Layer" made sure to set the source CRS to nad27 and the target to wgs84

  • I tried it, and it keeps up showing UTM coordinates even though the metadata says the projection changed... :( I added a printscreen – Nadia Dec 02 '14 at 02:27
  • Open the .prj file from the original shapefile package using any text editor, copy and paste the text here – user33290 Dec 02 '14 at 13:35
