Hello listers,

using gdalwarp to transform a Landsat image from UTM to lambert Azimuthal Equal Area, the output is showing "unknown" for the Datum and "unnamed" for the Spheroid.

I was using the following command:
gdalwarp -t_srs '+proj=laea +lat_0=52 +lon_0=10 +x_0=4321000 +y_0=3210000 +ellps=GRS80' p193r002_7t19990711_z33_nn40.tif test.tif

The outputof gdalinfo:

$ gdalinfo.exe /g/etm+/utm/test.tif
Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF
Files: g:/etm+/utm/test.tif
Size is 9601, 8837

        DATUM["unknown",

Can you tell me how i have to set the parameters for the DATUM and SPHEROID? Wenn i am using the EPSG:3035 ther will be no adjustments for lat_0 and so on. Is there a possibility to use these parameters as well with the EPSG Code?

Cheers,
Thomas
