MapWindow is completely free; just tried downloading it and it worked fine.

Good question. If the shapefile came with a .prj file, or with metadata, you should be able to find it there. If not, you’ll need to go to the source to find it out.

Google Earth uses unprojected latitude/longitude, WGS84.

But how can you guess what is the original coordinate system ? And what coordinate system does Google Earth use exactly ? (I understood that it was Geographic Coordinate but which group and name ?)

Disregard; I figured it out.

For the life of me, I can’t figure out how to get this plug-in to convert my files from UTM to latitude/longitude. I go through the steps and pick what I believe to be the right systems, but they still come out as UTM. Any ideas? Or is there another way to do this conversion?
