I'm pretty new to GIS
matter and have no idea how to get the right projection of a point.
What's the projection for point (582865.200436, 3541848.067073)?
I have a .prj
and corresponding .shp
file. The following, is the content of '.prj' file: PROJCS["WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_39N",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137.0,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",500000.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",51.0],PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",0.9996],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",0.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0]]
I have found PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"]
in the above content and based on real location of the file (approximately around Iran/Asia) i guess the corresponding projection should be 2059.
How can I find out the correct projection and unit of a '.shp' file out of it's corresponding '.prj' file or any other evidences?
.prj
and it can be trusted, then your question is already answered. If what you want is the EPSG SRID, you should edit the question to specify that. – Vince Dec 15 '16 at 12:07prj
