Hi Knust,

That is exactly what I did. Same thing I did for the Level 2 of this shape file and it worked.

Yes, just use the shp and shx files from Mapshaper, not DBF. Just make a copy of your original DBF and rename it to the same as the output from Mapshaper.

To add to Brams mail, I have had issues with MapShaper and the DBF's it produces. Normally, I just trash these, and use the original DBF from the unmodified shapefile.

It's also much easier to define the projection or to convert to a different projection in QGIS, and once you have your shapefile ready you can simply save it as a gml file.

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.
