Hi Chris,

Hope all is well with you.  I have a mapping question that I thought I
might

bring to you (if you don't mind).  I collected GPS points of a small
area of

a town in Tunisia.  When on the site, I picked up 1:5000 maps of the
area to

later use for digitizing purposes.  Now I am trying to reconcile my
digitized
map and my GPS points. Problem is that the local map doesn't have a
recognizable coordinate system.  Through Internet searches, it seems
that my

area in Tunisia regularly uses the Lambert Conic Orthomorphic: Nord
Tunisie
(Carthage).  Gary Christopherson thinks that he has the northings and
eastings but in order to 'build' the correct map origins we really need
the
origin location of the 1st and 2nd standard parallels.  Do you have any
ideas
as to where we can find this information?

Thank you so much,

Sincerely,
