Dear Shaun

The Ministry of Mines and Energy maintains The Schwarzeck Datum "that consists of the Bessel 1841 Spheroid tied to a point called Schwarzeck located at 22º 45' 35".820 S and 18º 40' 34".549 E..." [source: http://www.mme.gov.na/gsn/nam-map-system.htm]

Given that this is an Open Source Geospatial list, the above Quantum GIS CRS nomenclature is: 

+proj=tmerc +lat_0=-22 +lon_0=17 +k=1 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +axis=wsu +ellps=bess_nam +towgs84=616,97,-251,0,0,0,0 +to_meter=1.0000135965 +no_defs

Hope that helps.

Regards

Hi

 

Can anyone assist in supplying me with projection files, to be used in ArcMap (.prj) for Namibia. 

 

The projection I am looking for is: Schwarzeck datum on Namibian – Lo17.

 

Thank you.

 

Best Regards
