Dear list members,

I am projecting a map to UTM but when I plot the map the axes display
geographic coordinates, do you know why?

> cr =
readOGR(dsn="/Users/manuelspinola/Documents/ProyectosRespacial/EvalHab_reporte",
layer="Cr_wgs84_meso")
OGR data source with driver: ESRI Shapefile
Source:
"/Users/manuelspinola/Documents/ProyectosRespacial/EvalHab_reporte", layer:
"Cr_wgs84_meso"
with 1 features and 6 fields
Feature type: wkbPolygon with 2 dimensions
