<p dir="ltr">Hi,<br>
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. </p>

Hi,<br class="">
<br class="">
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 <br class="">

<div class="">My problem:</div>
<div class="">I have to create a series of maps all around the
