Dear all,

I’m trying to use Tomas Bayer’s SW (W7 32 and 64 bit), but I don’t know
how to launch it. When I launch the program, nothing happen.

Is there anyone that had my same troubles?

Best regards

Piero Ausonio Bianco (map collector – Italy)

Hello David Allen,

cartographic projection and its parameters from the map *from Tomas Bayer:

I am studying some early nineteenth century maps by Aaron Arrowsmith
that show projection grids (graticules), but do not state what
projection was used. I was wondering if someone has developed software
to ascertain map projections based on the lines of the grid. I would
think that it would be fairly easy to develop something like this, but
have not been able to turn up anything via Google. Any leads?
