> grass-user@.osgeo > https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user I think it is EPSG 3857. Have you read the wiki entry (from the link I mentioned in a previous mail)? taken from there: "While the Web Mercator's formulas are for the spherical form of the Mercator, geographical coordinates are required to be in the WGS 84 ellipsoidal datum. This discrepancy causes the projection to be slightly non-conformal. General lack of understanding that the Web Mercator differs from standard Mercator usage has caused considerable confusion and misuse.[4]:87 For all these reasons, the United States Department of Defense through the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has declared this map projection to be unacceptable for any official use.[7]" thus I suggest, as already before, to use another projection appropriate for your working area. regarding values for ogr2ogr, maybe ask also on the GDAL mailing list . ----- best regards Helmut -- Sent from: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Grass-Users-f3884509.html _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
