I am trying to open some shapefiles of indices to the USGS quadrangles. These shapefiles come with .prj files that Global Mapper can't seem to use. I have attached one of these .prj files (with extension .txt added to allow uploading to this site). Can you tell me what the issue is?

Thanks,

    What version of Global Mapper are you using? The PRJ file loads fine for me in v13.00 and v12.02.

    Thanks,

    That must be the problem. I am way back on V10.02. I am in the process of trying to get my company to buy several seats of v. 13.00. I am using my own personal copy of V10.02.

    Are there different "flavors" of .prj file format?

    Thanks,

    Yes, there are different flavors of .prj, although the flavor isn't the issue, it's that the datum used in the file is not one that v10.02 knows about.
