----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hello Readers, I'm looking for a an english listing of projections commonly used by the Geographical Survey Institute (Japan) and Geological Survey of Japan for all common scales between 1:2,000,000 and 1:2,500. I'm also looking for an english explanation of the coordinate systems used in Japan. As an example, do they have an equivalent to the U.S. State Plane system and if so what are its particulars. Anyone have any ideas? ************************************************************************ Stephan Pollard, Graduate Assistant TEL:(1) (501) 575-6159 Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies (CAST) FAX:(1) (501) 575-5218 Ozark Hall #12 University of Arkansas Fayetteville, AR 72701 E-mail: [log in to unmask] USA URL: http://www.cast.uark.edu/ ************************************************************************
