Hello all,

I have a shapefile of my region of interest which I want to import to Planet Explorer. It is a multi-polygon layer which is displayed in QGIS without problems.

Upon importing the .shp, I receive the error “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'coordinates')”. If I try importing it along with all its associated extensions (.dbf, .prj, .shx), the error changes to “This is an unsupported projection.”

My projection is EPSG:25832 - ETRS89 / UTM zone 32N and I also tried EPSG:4326 - WGS84.

How could I solve this?

Thank you in advance!

It seems I can’t delete my post, but I found a way. I uploaded the WGS84 file as .geojson and it worked.
