<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Hello, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>I have been trying for the longest
time now to convert data I received from Michigan DNR to lat-long data so it
can be used within Google maps.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>The data is snowmobile trails but
I can’t for the life of me find a program which does not contain an large price
tag to do this for me. I can’t see spending money on it when I just need to
convert the data once and then I won’t need it done anymore. Does anyone have a
good program to use to do this. They included all the files with the zip file
they sent me. (.dbf, .prj, .sbn,.sbx,.shp,.shp.xml,shx). I think I’ve tried to
use more than a handful of software’s. The closest I got was with the program
map window but there seems to be an issue with it reprojecting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
