[Qgis-user] Which Projection to use?

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi, 
They are there in QGIS. Filter for WGS84 in the CSR and you will find them.  That's how I got the code I gave you below.

	thanks Kristin and Nicolas, Now I get which UTM zone I’ min, and I’ve been spending the last hours in trying to find the corresponding EPSG code and/or the proj4  code to enter in QGIS. they are not listed in the default list in Qgis Any suggestions welcome Joris   Op 8-dec.-2014, om 22:50 heeft Nicolas Cadieux < [hidden email] > het volgende geschreven: 
  
    
  
  
    Hi, 
    
    Your easiest bet is to use WGS84 with UTM Zones.  It covers the
    planet, and the UTM zones are meter.   See attachments for the
    zones.  Ex: EPSG 32618 = WGS84 / UTM18N

      Hi Joris,
        
        
        One starting point might be here --  http://www.radicalcartography.net/index.html?projectionref 
          -- expand the categories for a sense of what they translate to
          in terms of visuals. 
        
        
        cheers -

            Hello,
              
              
              My problem: 
              I have to create a series of maps all around the
                world. For each map, I need a appropriate CRS in meters
                (t create buffers etc…)  
              Does anybody know a source out there where I can see
                the extends of existing projections I can use for each
                map? 
              
              
              I keep bouncing up to  http://spatialreference.org/  ,
                but the list is of no use to me, as there is no map. 
              thanks
