[Proj] Netherlands RD (28992) to UTM Zone 32 (3044) produces shifted coordinates

[Jelmer Baas]

Hello,



For a new project we need to convert coordinates from EPSG 28992 to EPSG 3044 with MapInfo, Oracle AND a few Proj.4 programs (PostGIS, a custom DLL, Proj4js). The problem we are having is that we're seeing some shifted coordinates.

It seems MapInfo and Oracle more-or-less agree, as do all Proj.4-based products. I don't know which are "right", meaning I also don't know which ones are wrong - let alone find the fault.



Hopefully someone can help me with this problem, or at least point me in the right direction.

(4) Same DLL. "+proj=sterea +lat_0=52.15616055555555 +lon_0=5.38763888888889 +k=0.9999079 +x_0=155000 +y_0=463000 +ellps=bessel +towgs84=565.417,50.3319,465.552,-0.398957,0.343988,-1.8774,4.0725 +units=m +no_defs  <>"

(5) select sdo_cs.transform(SDO_GEOMETRY('POINT(254870.45 415123.56)', 90112),25832)  from dual;

(5b) The Oracle definition contains some  tags I don't see anywhere in Proj.4 (like the Bessel 1841 part):

PROJCS["Netherlands National System", GEOGCS [ "Netherlands Bessel", DATUM ["Netherlands Bessel", SPHEROID ["Bessel 1841", 6377397.155, 299.1528128]], PRIMEM [ "Greenwich", 0.000000 ], UNIT ["Decimal Degree", 0.01745329251994330]], PROJECTION ["Stereographic"], PARAMETER ["Scale_Factor", 0.999908], PARAMETER ["Central_Meridian", 5.387639], PARAMETER ["Latitude_Of_Origin", 52.156161], PARAMETER ["False_Easting", 155000.000000], PARAMETER ["False_Northing", 463000.000000], UNIT ["Meter", 1.000000000000]]



A side note is that transformation via my DLL doesn't work properly (i.e., coordinates are shifted tens of meters), unless I *first* transform to WGS84 and then to 3044. I assume this is caused by an easy-to-fix error, but I don't know what that is.



P.S.: PostGIS, Proj4JS and my epsg file are all up-to-date.



Thanks for any help,



With kind regards,
