Re: [Qgis-user] Which Projection to use?

[Joris Hintjens]

Thanks Joost and Nicolas

I did not find the richt EPSG Code because I was looking the code for zone 
U,V,W etc. I learned now that one for North and One for south hemisphere per 
zone does the trick

To get the UTM zone, simply add 3 to your local easting, divide by 6, 
round to integer and add 30. The UTM North zone EPSG code is 32600 + UTM 
zone, UTM South is 32700 + UTM zone

Hi, 
They are there in QGIS. Filter for WGS84 in the CSR and you will find 
them.  That's how I got the code I gave you below.

Hi, 

Your easiest bet is to use WGS84 with UTM Zones.  It covers the
planet, and the UTM zones are meter.   See attachments for the
zones.  Ex: EPSG 32618 = WGS84 / UTM18N

thanks Kristin and Nicolas,

Now I get which UTM zone I’ min, and I’ve been spending the last hours in

[Qgis-user] Which Projection to use?

[Joris Hintjens]

Hello,

My problem:
I have to create a series of maps all around the world. For each map, I need a 
appropriate CRS in meters (t create buffers etc…) 
Does anybody know a source out there where I can see the extends of existing 
projections I can use for each map?

I keep bouncing up to http://spatialreference.org/ 
 , but the list is of no use to me, as there is 
no map.
thanks

Joris
