[Talk-us] NAD 27 data to OSM's native WGS 84 data

I don't know if copy-pasting the above string into a .prj in the shapefile folder will direct JOSM (via Shapefile plug-in) to "adjust" the data to WGS 84, or if something different is required.  It is even possible that clicking on JOSM's alert button of "Yes" is all that is required, but I'm not sure.  Thank you in advance.

Well, just clicking “Yes” will definitely not work, since JOSM won’t know what to convert from.

I don’t know if JOSM doesn’t reprojection. But if you want to just do it before loading the data into JOSM and you have OGR/GDAL installed:

ogr2ogr -s_srs EPSG:4267 -t_srs EPSG:4326  output.shp input.shp
