Hi All,
Sorry in advance if this is a newbie query.
I have a number of shape files in UTM 37k for Mozambique that appear fine except that the lat and long are wrong.

These are the steps undertaken and screenshots of results:
- They come in just fine in UTM (see 1 attached).
- I can then save them as *.I3s or I2s, after assigning them as UTM 37. (I use 37 rather than 37k, 37S, or -37, as I am unsure of how to indicate south and it does not seem to take the above format (see attached 2)
- Resulting file look fine for easting and northings (see attached 1), but the latitude and longitude are wrong. See attached 3 where I have turned on the lat and long grid and zoomed out to show its position in the higher latitudes of the northern hemisphere.

Attached also are the shape file and the *.I3s. Same problem for grids I have brought in, so obviously an issue on my syntax for the UTM zone?

Thanks in advance,
Stefano

Hi Stefano,

Unfortunately we do not support UTM South.

Sorry... Martin
