Hi, I am a new user of Quantum GIS and am trying a similar exercise both on quantum GIS and ArGIS. I am trying to measure the distance from an airport point to several residential and commercial project points. I have a customized projection in Albers Equal Area Conic. The problem that is occurring is that the distance is not being calculated in the right manner. Here is my customized projection -
USER:100000 - * Generated CRS (+proj=aea +lat_1=12 +lat_2=28 +lat_0=20 +lon_0=78 +x_0=2000000 +y_0=2000000 +ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs) I am getting the correct distances in Arc. The units should be meters. However, I am unable to get that in Qgis. I tried several times. I went into 'Settings', then 'Project Properties' and changed the projection to my customized projection there too, but nothing seems to work. Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
