[udig-users] Really new to GIS.

["Charles E. Deaton" <CDeaton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I’ve been working with uDig for a few months now and for the most part have been able to figure things out. Now I stuck. All of the data I use (shapefiles) have been in the same reference system (I think it’s the reference system I’m talking about). I’ve been trying to merge two file that are not in the same reference system with no luck. Here are links to them.

 

Any of these (Q3 FIRM Layer):

http://www.mcgi.state.mi.us/mgdl/?rel=thext&action="">

 

Into this (National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) Database):

https://msc.fema.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&categoryId=12011&langId=-1&userType=G&type=12

Then select Michigan.

 

One appears to be in decimal and the other in lat/lon. One has projection file and the other doesn’t

 

If anyone can shed any light on the process to do this with uDig or any other Open Source applications it would really be appreciated.
