My apologies to those involved in developing QGIS. There was a part of my last email that was part of my drafting process (get it down, clean it up) that should have been cleaned up - but wasn't. I do appreciate your efforts for a programme that I'm meerly a user of. -ramon. __

That's unfortunate. Good to know its repeatable. At least the problem has been isolated and we know what's required to get it fixed (or so I think). Time to find some professional help. I'll keep you informed. Brett On 5/10/2010 11:36 AM, Roland Hill wrote: Brett, I am using Linux and fro

Brett, I am using Linux and from a previous email I think Ken is as well. Yes, it is working on my Linux system. I tried installing QGIS onto a Windows 7 system using both the Standalone and OsGeo installers. In both cases I couldn't get it to work correctly. The standalone installer version

Ken / Brett, The only thing we know for certain is that we are all out of our depths! Regardless, I think we are on the way to solving this. Please find a new srs.db here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9546967/srs.db. The new file incorporates both towgs84 parameters and a reference to the distortio

Roland, That is brilliant. Nice work. I get a similar result to Ken. Offset between AGD84 and GDA94 in WA is 36m using your file. I was even able to export shape files and reimport them into the correct position suggesting the CRS has stuck. (AGD84 / AGD66 prj files look identical to me an

Roland, I incorporated your srs.db but the translation falls about 30m short (in Melbourne) and about the same distance out at a control point in southern Tasmania. I see you use the National parameters that '... have an estimated accuracy of about 1 metre.' and are most accurate around Canber

Brett / All, I had a go at changing the AGD66 and AGD84 definitions in the QGIS database (srs.db) to include the towgs84 parameters and it appears to have worked. The attached image shows the same point assigned to GDA94, AGD66 and AGD84 with the offsets as expected. The updated srs.db can be

Correction, the AGD84 data do transform if used for areas where AGD84 was used. I tried a sample from Victoria earlier, where AGD84 wasn't used — I don't think the distortion table covers it. Thus for AGD zone 53 +proj=utm +zone=53 +south +ellps=aust_SA +nadgrids=AGD84.gsb +units=m +no_defs +wkt
