Subject: GISList: Help with Importing a Shapefile into MapInfo
> I downloaded the USCities shapefile from the free data downloads but I am
> having trouble making it work in MapInfo.
>
> I am using the Universal Translator and converting the shapefile to a MIF
> and then importing into MapInfo. When I do this though the points are off
> and are all stacked upon each other. When I check the projection it says
> Non-Earth Metres so I thought this was the problem in the conversion.
When
> I change the projection from Non-Earth to Longitude/Latitude I get a more
> normal distribution but it does not overlay correctly with my other layers
> which are in a longitude/latitude projection (they are way off).
>
> If someone could offer some help it would be greatly appreciated as I have
> attempted a few times and have not been successful or if someone can
suggest
> another source file with US cities that can be downloaded for free.
