What I have is a list of coordinates (lat,long) and I need to create a shapefile with all of them as points. I am using pyshp to do so, and everything runs smoothly until I upload my file. Every point will appear in some unrelated place, such as the Pacific ocean.
For these files, I just copied an existing prj file I found on Manitoba's website (the same area my points will be in), but after looking at the files that the original prj file came with, the numbers aren't similar.
Their point: [365100.81763949705, 5436444.752255431]
My point: [49.0304527, -95.7514267]
I am wondering what I have to do to make my points show up in the correct location. Do I need to change the prj file? If so, how would I go about doing so?
