Hello, I have a csv file with a list of coordinates. for example one of them: X Y 12374462.4355 4877977.8396 notice the (to me at least) strange X coordinate: in the 12millon range.
This might be a false Easting. In the Soviet Union, 3-degree or 6-degree Gauss-Krueger systems based on the Pulkovo datum were common. To distinguish the zones, a high value of false Easting was added.
I know the point should land somewhere near the Kazach town of Shalkya, with coordinates in the EPSG3857 (WGS 84 pseudo mercator) of +/- X: 750800 Y: 5472000
These coordinates end up in the South of France for me. There might be one digit missing for the Easting. Greetings, André Joost _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
