<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi.</div><div><br></div><div>Last March I wrote to EPSG telling that the areas of the UTM zones in ETRS89 were a bit strange (see the image attached).</div><div>You can see them for PROJ 9.4.1 in <a href="https://crs-explorer.proj.org/?searchText=etrs89%20utm%20-dref%20--%20-srb&ignoreWorld=false&allowDeprecated=false&authorities=EPSG&activeTypes=PROJECTED_CRS&map=osm&v=9.4.1" target="_blank">https://crs-explorer.proj.org/?searchText=etrs89%20utm%20-dref%20--%20-srb&ignoreWorld=false&allowDeprecated=false&authorities=EPSG&activeTypes=PROJECTED_CRS&map=osm&v=9.4.1 </a><br></div><div>(just select the checkboxes in the area of use for all of them)</div><div><br></div><div>They addressed the issue now in EPSG v11.009 (already released).</div><div>The solution includes two usage sections per CRS, as you can see for example in <a href="https://epsg.org/crs_25834/ETRS89-UTM-zone-34N.html" target="_blank">https://epsg.org/crs_25834/ETRS89-UTM-zone-34N.html</a> . These two areas of use can be different (in north and south limits).<br></div><div>One for "Engineering survey, topographic mapping." and another for "Pan-European conformal mapping at scales larger than 1:500,000." If I understood correctly, the former includes the countries that have such CRS as an "oficial" system. You can see in the map in <a href="http://epsg.org" target="_blank">epsg.org</a> for instance how Croatia in included, but not Hungary. The later is usually bigger, to include ETRF.</div><div><br></div><div>Be careful if your library or application does not consider the option of having more than one area of use per CRS. You may lose some data.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Javier</div><div><br></div><div>PS those changes should be included in the next release of PROJ, 9.5.0</div><div>PS2 In previous versions of EPSG and PROJ there were already few CRSs with two areas of use, like <a href="https://epsg.org/crs_5897/VN-2000-TM-3-zone-482.html">https://epsg.org/crs_5897/VN-2000-TM-3-zone-482.html</a> (in case you want to test your behaviour now)<br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>.___ ._ ..._ .. . ._. .___ .. __ . _. . __.. ... .... ._ .__</div></div></div></div></div></div>
