Hi, maybe you already made the experience that there is no EPSG definition for the alaska dataset using unit=meters anymore. This caused problems e.g. for OTF and the coordinate capture plugin.
Instead QGIS allows to define an EPSG 2964 for Albers Equal Area CRS using unit feet: +proj=aea +lat_1=55 +lat_2=65 +lat_0=50 +lon_0=-154 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=clrk66 +datum=NAD27 +to_meter=0.3048006096012192 +no_defs As Gary suspects, the projection engine in QGIS isn't recognizing the to_meter parameter correctly. So I reprojected and updated the QGIS sample data set using this EPSG 2964 CRS. You find the data here. http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/data/qgis_sample_data.zip http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/data/qgis_sample_data.tar.gz Sorry for the inconvinience, but please update your sample datasets to be able to use and test all QGIS features with the alaska data. If there are any problems with the data, feel free to write to the list, so we can fix it. regards, Otto _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
