Hi André, I know ;) But there is also a lot of pride. Every chief scientist couldn't take over the system of the neighbor country. And many reference points for the datum notations are on the same continental plate. And some countries like GB even invented their own local coordinate notation.
That's all historic noise, with a certain reason. But taken the idea of the Enlightenment things should advance to a common system with datum references based on scientific reasons, not political ones. But apart from my own opinion things are like they are :) Oliver > Am 19.10.2012 15:38, schrieb Oliver Eichler: >> Every >> country has it's own idea of how coordinates have to look like and >> what projection system / datum is used. > > To be honest, its not a question of "idea", but the best try to put a > cartesian grid for surveying on the earths surface, which is not a ball, > not even a perfect ellipsoid. > And that was invented over a hundred years ago, when noone even thought > of satellite photography, GPS and world wide google maps. > > Greetings, > André Joost > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Everyone hates slow websites.
