[PROJ] request for integration of optimized transformatiegrid BD72 to ETRS89

[SIMON Nicolas]

Hi,
               I've just created a pull request to integrate this change.
https://github.com/OSGeo/proj-datumgrid/pull/46

Tell me if it's done right, this is my first use of git.

Thanks

Nicolas Simon

Hello Karin,

As long as your grids are released on a suitable open source compatible license, yes it is possible to add them to PROJ. If you are quick (as in today) and open a pull request in the proj-datumgrid repository [0] it can become part of the coming version 6 of PROJ. I am not sure if transformations to and from EPSG:31370 will be using the grids by default without also modifying the source code of PROJ. Even Rouault should be able to clear that up though.

Hi,

The Belgian National Institute of Geography (NGI) has published a more accurate transformationgrid to convert between Belgian Datum 1972 tot ETRS 89.
As Belgian Lambert 1972 (EPSG:31370), based on BD72,  is widely used in Belgium - is it possible to integrate this transformationgrid as the default transformation for this datum?

Documentation in Dutch:  http://www.ngi.be/NL/NL2-1-7.shtm
Documentation in French: http://www.ngi.be/FR/FR2-1-7.shtm

The grid is called: bd72lb72_etrs89lb08.gsb
