GIS 101 Question:
I have a street layer shape file in decimal degrees and would like to =
overlay that on the parcel shapefile which is in feet.
Parcel Layer:
[steve@Miracle mapserv]$ ./showextent.pl /usr/maps/jbs.shp
2102351.89913092 394981.042580036 2250421.58049244 608454.114243081
2094948.41506284 384307.388996884 2257825.06456052 619127.767826233 =
Street Layer
[steve@Miracle mapserv]$ ./showextent.pl /usr/maps/str12065.shp
-84.076234 30.118074 -83.604398 30.671142
-84.0998258 30.0904206 -83.5808062 30.6987954 =20
Question:
What are options in making these two files work together in the same =
view? (i.e. convert the shape file, or add a world file, projection =
file?) =20
If you could elaborate a little on the solutions that would be great =
(i.e. conversion suggestion, or world file conversion example).
Thank you very much.
