I've inherited a set of shape files that are not georeferenced. The upper left corner of the extent is on 0/0 lat/lon. So, when I try to view them after translating to KML, for example, they show up in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Is there any way in OpenJump that I can fix them? There's about a 130k polygons involved with lots of attributes that I'd like to forego re-creating if I can. If I use a survey-grade GPS or Google Earth to match a bunch of points in these shapefiles to their true locations on Earth, can something move/stretch/skew/scale them to their earthly positions? This HAS to have been done at some point with all the non-geo CAD stuff that existed b4 geo-spatial tooling took hold, right? I'm hoping there's a tool I've missed (in much Googling) that I can use to correlate the two. I'm guessing that if such a tool is available, it's going to take A LOT of point matches to fix the files, but that scares me less than re-creating the data in its entirety. Can anyone send me in the right direction here? _______________________________________________ jump-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/jump-users
