Works now. Still confused - don't understand what I did. Just click some buttons in a random combination and *puff* magically it all works.
It is scary to spend a bunch of time using this hoping to get something useful at the end of a project.


I'm also confused as I wasn't following your thread from the beginning. When something "puff" works magically, it will probably also "puff" stop working...

So you have a raster layer in google mercator. And two shapefiles, one in unknown projection and the other in google mercator?
Are you setting the project CRS to google mercator?
Are you enabling "on the fly projection?

I'm really confused.

I load a layer from my postgresql database and the layers extents shown in the lower rh window correspond to my project's location. 44.4, 33.3. The layer's crs is set to google mercator.
Then I load an old shapefile from the same project area with the google mercator crs and it loads way the heck somewhere else and ITS coordinates are all weird and unrecognizable.
When I load a google layer does it load up properly where I think its suppsed to go, where my corrdinates look correct? Does it? noooooo.
I zoom into the shapefile layer with the unrecognizable coorddinates and i can load a google layer there. Thing is, the shapefile is junk - there's nothing there I need. I've got 30 mb of data at the OTHER location.
Crap.
