As far as I know, bmp files (like jpeg and gif and probably others) only support "ESRI World files". This is not a true CRS definition though, it only indicated the geotransform.
Even though it is not standard, it would be convenient to update these drivers to read an associated .prj file http://www.gdal.org/frmt_bmp.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_file cheers, Etienne On Mon, Nov 26, 2012 at 11:23 AM, Clay, Bruce <bc...@ball.com> wrote: > I am using GDAL to convert CADRG files to BMP chips for an application > written to only use BMP.
