Mapinfo2Google - how to change the projection?

[esoestemp]

Hi all,

I am using Mapinfo 11.0 and when I try to convert mapinfo view(using Mapinfo2Google.mbx) to Google format the exports is done in WGS 84 - but I want different.
I changed all settings on Mapinfo related with the projections to the desired projection, but the output file still is in WGS 84.

Is it possible to change the projection of the output file?

May be I was not so clear.
I am trying to use exactly this tool, but cannot change projection of the output file. It is always WGS84.

from my understanding the Datum for Google Earth is WGS84 , so this is why conversions tools to Google Earth will generate WGS84 , why do you want a different Datum, it wont project properly?

Yes, this is the problem - in Google the sites from one country are spread across the whole earth .
