[Qgis-user] google layers plugin projection

[Benoit de Cabissole]

Maning,

Here is the definition of EPSG:900913 (Google Mercator)

+proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m +nadgrids=@null +wktext +no_defs

I do not know if it is enough for you to create it?

Hope this helps
Benoit
