[Qgis-user] Converting Alberta Township System

[Michael Giebels]

Hi guys,

I received a data package with locations given in the Canadian Alberta 
Township System recently. I found an online converter that converts the 
ATS coordinates into  WGS84-coordinates as a point coordinate from the 
center of the section. However, doublechecking these coordinates then 
with a Google Hybrid Layer in order to identify single so called quarter 
sections appears difficult: The WGS84-coordinates do not match with 
centres of fields displayed in the satellite imagery. Thus, I have 
difficulties in identifying single quarter sections correctly.
Does anyone have a helpful source or hint? I am aware that the Township 
system is not a projection by itself. However it would be cool, having a 
tool displaying the Township grid (correctly) in QGIS.

Thanks for your help

Cheers

Michael
