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, Erin Nell Department of Classics [log in to unmask]
