Shape to MapInfo Projection Issue
I am having trouble converting shape files into MapInfo and changing the projection from UTM to Long/Lat. I have tried using FME, MapInfo Universal Translator, MapInfo Create Points. I even tried creating long/lat fields in a table and then trying to Create Points. But in all cases the files come up UTM in MapInfo not long lat even though the MapInfo default is Long/Lat.

Hi,
try the following:
In the Workbench, go to File / New / Generate workspace.
Specify the translation something like this:
What is important here:
- The coordinate system has been specified for BOTH the reader and the writer (you will have to use your own values here)
- The output dataset is different from the input dataset (it will be created by FME)
