I am trying to load Shape file over google map as per sample given in Map Suite Web edition.  
but at a time m able to see only one of the Google Layers and not Shape file over google layer.  
I think the problem is of Projection.  
The Projection is as below:  
WGS\_1984\_UTM\_Zone\_43N  
WKID: 32643 Authority: EPSG

Projection: Transverse\_Mercator  
False\_Easting: 500000.0  
False\_Northing: 0.0  
Central\_Meridian: 75.0  
Scale\_Factor: 0.9996  
Latitude\_Of\_Origin: 0.0  
Linear Unit: Meter (1.0)

Geographic Coordinate System: GCS\_WGS\_1984  
Angular Unit: Degree (0.0174532925199433)  
Prime Meridian: Greenwich (0.0)  
Datum: D\_WGS\_1984  
Spheroid: WGS\_1984  
Semimajor Axis: 6378137.0  
Semiminor Axis: 6356752.314245179  
Inverse Flattening: 298.257223563  
How do i apply projections so that i am able to load shape file over google

Thanks,  
djay

Hi Djay,

The Google map projection is 3857 and the shape file should be 4326.

You should want to reprojection the shape file to make it works with Google map.

```
                    Proj4Projection proj4 = new Proj4Projection(4326, 3857);
                proj4.Open();

                ShapeFileFeatureLayer layer = new ShapeFileFeatureLayer("Your data path");
                layer.Open();
                layer.FeatureSource.Projection = proj4;

```

Wish that’s helpful.

Regards,

Ethan
