<div dir="ltr">I've discovered that the current implementation of RAS Mapper only allows an ESRI Prj file to be read in. It uses the GDAL routines, but in a limited way. I suspect that I should be able to get RAS Mapper to access a custom transformation if I create a dummy ESPG value with the desired parameters in the GDAL files listed in my original email. <div><br></div><div>Derek</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Apr 3, 2016 at 8:56 PM, Andre Joost <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andre+joost@nurfuerspam.de" target="_blank">andre+joost@nurfuerspam.de</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">Am 03.04.2016 um 14:05 schrieb Derek Stuart:<br>

Andre: The only Gulshan coordinate system I see with EPSG 4682 is a<br>
geographic coordinate system. I am using a projected coordinate<br>
system called BTM. This is a fairly new coordinate system, but it is<br>
the standard here in Bangladesh.<br>
<br>
PROJCS["BTM",GEOGCS["GCS_Everest_Bangladesh",DATUM["D_Everest_Bangladesh",SPHEROID["Everest_Adjustment_1937",6377276.345,300.8017]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",500000.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",-2000000.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",90.0],PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",0.9996],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",0.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0]]<br>

There is a projected coordinate system called Gulshan 303 Bangladesh<br>
TM that uses the Gulshan datum, but it has EPSG 3106, not 4682.<br>
<br>
PROJCS["Gulshan_303_Bangladesh_TM",GEOGCS["GCS_Gulshan_303",DATUM["D_Gulshan_303",SPHEROID["Everest_Adjustment_1937",6377276.345,300.8017]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",500000.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",90.0],PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",0.9996],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",0.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0],AUTHORITY["EPSG",3106]]<br>
<br>
This has very similar parameters to BTM, except that Gulshan 303 has<br>
a false northing of 0 and BTM has -2000000.0. I asked some other<br>
GIS professionals locally and was told that here isn't a EPSG code<br>
that matches BTM. Unless I want to reproject my data and work in<br>
UTM, I don't see a way to avoid adding a custom transformation to<br>
GDAL.<br>

Your first post did not include information on the projected coordinate system. Since it has a different false Northing, you really have to put up a custom CRS. But you have to take the +towgs84 parameter set to shift from the Everest ellipsoid to WGS84. The WKT definitions you give do not include that, because the ARCGIS world handles datum transformations separately.<br>
<br>
You can put the WKT definition above in a text file, and run gdalsrsinfo on that file. It will report:<br>
<br>
+proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=90 +k=0.9996 +x_0=500000 +y_0=-2000000 +a=6377276.345 +b=6356075.41314024 +units=m +no_defs<br>
<br>
As mentioned above, add the +towgs84 set for Gulshan, which you find in EPSG:4682:<br>
<br>
+proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=90 +k=0.9996 +x_0=500000 +y_0=-2000000 +a=6377276.345 +b=6356075.41314024 +towgs84=283.7,735.9,261.1,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
