<div>Hi, </div><div>Some feedback:</div>It works brilliantly now but the path was strewn with thorns. One more problem of my own making was that the program that I used to convert my UTM UPS format into dd mm ss.ss to do the Georeferencing uses north and south and not + and - so I had +17 instead of -17 which also did not help. This thus bring me to another question is there a way to universally change the input method of co-ordinates within a project rather than to have to convert between various formats the whole time. I thought there were but setting my project to EPSG:32735 does not change the co-ordinate input methods for the GeoReferencing plugin not thus the co-ordinates displayed in the bottom of the screen change to UTM format.<div>

Sigh,<div>Thank you for all the replies. It is bloody confusing and a barrier of entry to using GIS programs I think. I intent to write up my experience when I am done so hopefully I can contribute in some way for the next person going through this pain. It might be useful if the dialogue boxes in QGIS would make no assumptions or use specific conventions and allow one to enter all data or at least clearly see what assumptions are being made with regards to a naming standard for a grid location.</div>

I beg to differ!<br>

35S is indeed zone 35, suothern hemishpere part. I trust places like<br>
