[mapserver-users] Preparing GeoTIFF files for use in Mapserver

[Robert Sanson]

Thanks Brent
 
2193 is definitely in C:\ms4w\gdaldata\pcs.csv
 
2193,"NZGD2000 / New Zealand Transverse Mercator 2000",9001,4167,19971,9807,1,0,4500,8801,0,9102,8802,173,9102,8805,0.9996,9201,8806,1600000,9001,8807,10000000,9001,,,,,,
 
Not sure why it is not looking it up.

Hi Robert,

Can you check to see that 2193 (NZTM2000) is included in the look-up table of projections used by GDAL?

If not, you might try fully describing the parameters in proj.4 syntax instead of using the EPSG notation, see:

http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/2193/ 

Cheers,

  Brent Wood
