Hi everybody
I need to convert a shapefile in a UTM projection with datum ED50 to a
WGS84 based projection (LAEA, Epsg 3035). I applied the datum shift
parameters using "+towgs84", like
ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -s_srs "+proj=utm +zone=30 +ellps=intl
+units=m +towgs84=-131.0,-100.3,-163.4,-1.244,-0.020,-1.144,9.39
+no_defs" -t_srs "EPSG:3035" with_datumshift test.shp
but it seems whatever I write for +towgs84 has no effect. I can drop it
completely or use other values, the result is always the same. Is the
+towgs84 parameter just not used or do I use a wrong definition somewhere?
GDAL version used is the one from FWTools 2.1.0 (Win)
Thanks for any help
Armin
