[Qgis-user] Which Projection to use?

[Joris Hintjens]

thanks Kristin and Nicolas,

Now I get which UTM zone I’ min, and I’ve been spending the last hours in trying to find the corresponding EPSG code and/or the proj4  code to enter in QGIS. they are not listed in the default list in Qgis
Any suggestions welcome

Joris
