Experiment No: 5: Title: "To Convert Coordinate System of A Map Using Gis Arc Software"

This document provides instructions for converting the coordinate system of a map using ArcGIS software. It outlines steps to copy and enable a projection extension, set the map units for data, make a theme active, change the input and output projections, and follow additional dialog boxes to complete changing the coordinate system of shapefiles. The goal is to demonstrate how to use a shapefile projection utility to modify projections and datums of vector data files.
