Re: Shapefile Conversion to GML

 

Thanks a lot Jason. I also tried converting without first trying to convert to 4326 knowing that it may already be in that projection. I noticed later on that This conversion worked if i didn't use the original dbf file that I downloaded with it. I mean it converted when I used the dbf file generated after working on it at mapshaper.org.

As soon as I changed the dbf file to the one downloaded from the shapefile site, it produced the error.

The dbf file might be bad though. I have downloaded another from a new site and hopefully it will work.

Regards,

Adedayo

Well, it seems pretty clear from the logs. 

Failed to process SRS definition: EPSG:14684


Try looking here http://www.epsg-registry.org/

and this is not a valid projection.

However, looking from the bounding box, it looks like it may be 4326 to begin with. 

Why do you think you need to use  EPSG:14684  as the source projection?

Regards,
Jason
