Hello Mike, thank you very much for the information about the projections and the R-Sig-Geo mailinglist! For now I solved the problem by getting another shape file with the same projections so I didn't have to reproject the data sets. However, I might need this in the future - if so your information will be of good use to me. Thanks again! Marion
