Hi Devs,<br><br>I have run into a problem when assigning a spatial reference to a mapinfo file using ogr2ogr when using -a_srs "EPSG:28350".<br>The mapinfo driver doesn't seem to recognise the datum (Geocentric_Datum_of_Australia_1994) and assigns WGS84 to the output file which is a fairly inconvenient approach.<br>
<br>This problem is due to the incorrect entries in asDatumInfoList (mitab_spatialref.cpp) since the entry for Geocentric_Datum_of_Australia_1994 is missing, though it contains an entry for the projection name GDA94 (and not for the datum name).<br>
<br>As far as I know the WKT datum names are vendor specific, therefore it's not quite sufficient to use as a lookop key for the datum entries. But if we use this approach even so, why don't we include the datum names from gcs.csv for being compatible with the projections constructed by GDAL itself?<br>
<br>Would that be reasonable to add multiple entries in asDatumInfoList or placing this information in an external file?<br><br>Best regards,<br><br>Tamas<br><br>
