<p dir="ltr">Hi,<br>
I have been looking at that. If I understand, that grid is for the nad27 to nad83 (original). Updated version of nad83(csrs96) known as nad83csrs or nad83(csrs98) are not included. I think the trx software is the only ways out for those. I and sending email to see if other grids exist nationally. Will keep you posted.</p>
<p dir="ltr">BTW, I am not surprised by the fact that they helped you. These NRCAN people really are great. I deal with them regularly and they are indeed very helpful. </p>

Maybe it would also be more user friendly, if QGIS would already deliver<br />
the grid shift files for most countries. But that would bloat QGIS quite<br />
a bit. The grid shift file for Switzerland (one of the smallest<br />
countries in the world) is already 3 MB. Maybe a grid shift file manager<br />
and repository would help for downloading, installing and deleting the<br />
files and for setting it up properly for easy usage.<br />

<br />
Grid shift files are not always for free, and free ones might not be allowed to be distributed by others (like on <a href="http://qgis.org" target="_top" rel="nofollow" link="external">qgis.org</a>).<br />
