<div dir="ltr"><div>Even,</div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><p> PROJ >= 6 is
completely ignored with Mercator_1SP. With Mercator_1SP, the
parameter that matters is the scale_factor. With Mercator_2SP, the
one that matters is standard_parallel_1. So it looks GDAL 2.4
interpreted somehow this latitude_of_center as the +lat_ts
parameter, but I'd say this was an accident. This WKT is
definitely weird.</p></div></blockquote><div> So this was extremely helpful. Just for laughs, I altered the WKT on that map from Mercator_1SP -> Mercator_2SP and changed 'latitude_of_center' to 'standard_parallel_1' and now it works exactly as in the old GDAL & PROJ. I take from this that there must have been some logic somewhere in the old versions that saw 'Mercator_1SP' and 'latitude_of_center' and said "Ok, you _clearly_ meant Mercator_2SP and 'standard_parallel_1', let me fix that for you." If so, that suggests this must be somewhat common in existing maps. I think one of my colleagues said we have something on the order of 5,000+ maps affected by this, but they're all from a Japanese vendor, so maybe it's more common in certain parts of the world than others?</div><div><div><div><br></div><div>Either way, I can add this logic/hack to our app; if I see that combination of parameters, I'll correct the WKT. For now, that will salvage the bulk of the problematic maps, but we'll have to chase down the vendor to get them to stop using that weird WKT.</div></div></div><div><br></div><div>Thank you very much!</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><p>The name of the CONVERSION when exporting as WKT2 is only
informational. It has no computational consequence. When importing
a WKT1 string, PROJ will use "unnamed" as the CONVERSION name as
the information isn't present.<br>
</p></div></blockquote></div>Ah, OK. I'll pass that along to my colleague. He was perplexed by the presence of the conversion. He's a GIS professional and could not figure out what it was. This answer will probably ease his mind :)<div><br></div><div>Thanks again!</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">..............................</span><br></div><div>Andrew Patterson</div><div>Lead Software Architect</div><div>Avenza Systems Inc.</div><div><br></div><div>email: <a href="mailto:andrew@avenza.com" target="_blank">andrew@avenza.com</a></div><div>phone: 416.487.5116 </div></div></div></div></div>
