I need to define a custom coordinate system for Argentina.
I am following Moritz Lennert Tutorial for seting up a new location and
specifyng my own coordiante system.
Moritz´s Tutorial says
1. specify ellipsoid name}: again use "list" to get a list of
available ellipsoids, examples "sphere", "clark80", "wgs84", etc.
2. if you want, you can specify a datum, again use "list" for
available options
3. Enter Central Parallel: 0 if you want the Equator as the central
parallel
4. Enter Central Meridian: 0 if you want the Greenwich meridian as
central meridian
5. Enter Scale Factor at the Central Meridian}
I have no problem spcifying ellipsoid and datum. But it is not clear
to me where during the data entry process should Central Parallele,
mEridian and scalie factor be entered.
Is there a way to define my own coordiante system in the EPSG file and
have the LOCATION CREATION program to get the parameters from there?
Thansk in advance
