List,

Continuing this thread because there is still a coordinate conversion bug in Therion 5.4.4
in coordinate conversion when exporting to KML

I have entered the coordinates in UTM based on a point both from an
actual GPS and from Google Earth (they are the same) in cs epsg:2154
(Lambert 93) or epsg:32631 (WGS84 / UTM 31N)

When I look at the output in UTM again, the entrance has shifted
directly south for 9 meters.

I'm assuming Therion changes the coordinate to something else (more
assumptions... WGS84?) and then changes it back again to the desired
output format. This conversion produces the wrong results I think.

As a workaround, maybe I could enter and export in WGS84 lat/long,
however, when I enter 
 
    cs epsg:4326                                       # WGS84
    fix E6 43.811399 3.585060 194 10 10 10
 
I get
 
"can't determine meridian convergence for lat-long systems"
 
I can't find the format required for WGS84 lat/long in the manual, can someone
provide this?

Thanks,

Anton

No, we don't modify existing releases. The fix will be included in 5.4.3 eventually, but until then you can use the latest snapshot (https://therion.speleo.sk/downloads/therion-setup-dev.exe).

Thank you, Martin, for the quick fix.

Is it also fixed in

https://therion.speleo.sk/downloads/therion-setup-5.4.2.exe

?

I have now attached a minimal cave sample produced  with 5.4.1. and one produced with 5.4.2. to demonstrate the displacement.

 

Hi,

 

the problem is that EPSG:31467 projection uses the "potsdam" datum and the PROJ library used by Therion changed the way how to transform potsdam datum to the standard WGS84 datum – it switched from a simple string parameter (towgs84) to using external grid file (see https://proj4.org/resource_files.html#transformation-grids for examples). 

 

No grid files are currently included in the windows Therion distribution, so the transformation is not correct in 5.4.2. Therion needs to be modified to include and use those files – hopefully soon.

 

Best regards

Martin
