[mapguide-users] BC Albers Projection not available

[Paul Ramsey]

Brad,

Sorry, I don't know the details, I am just reasoning by inference:
- MapGuide OS uses Proj4 as the reprojection engine
- Proj4 includes an epsg file of commonly known projections
- "init=epsg:3005" is a Proj4 string that will instantiate the BC  
Albers projection
So I assume it's possible... :) but I don't know *how*.
