Hello Folks! I am trying to import various maps into a GIS based
transport planning program and I am having trouble finding equivalent
"projections" so that I can adjust my map layers to make them match
up. Using several maps with different projections requires
"registering" each map with a transformation filter to make them all
compatible, and some of the maps I have don't correspond with the
choices in the software program. I have one map thats done with a
"Cylindrical Transverse Equal-Area Projection" and another one with a
"Space Oblique Mercator Projection". However, the only choices I have
in my software program are as follows:
In the Middle Latitudes:
Albers Equal Area Near Sided Pers, South Oblique
Lambert Conformal Conic Orthographic, South Oblique
Lambert Equal Area Stereographic, South Oblique
World Projections: Equal Area = EA
Bonne EA Collignon EA
Eckert II EA Eckert IV EA
Eckert VI EA Equidistant Cylindrical
Fahey Gall Stereographic
Goode Homolosine EA Lambert Azimuthal EA
Lambert Cylindrical EA Loximuthal
McBryde-Thomas FP Parabolic EA McBryde-Thomas FP Quartic EA
McBryde-Thomas FP Sinusoidal EA Mercator (conformal)
Miller Mollweide EA
Near Sided Pers. - Equatorial Near Sided Pers. - North Oblique
Near Sided Pers. - South Oblique Orthographic - Equatorial
Orthographic - North Oblique Orthographic - South Oblique
Putnins P2 EA Quartic Authalic EA
Robinson Sinusoidal EA
UTM Van der Grinten
Werner EA Winkel 1
Does anyone know what the closest match would be among the choices I
have available for transformations?? Much thanks in advance (and even
just for getting all the way through this wacky message)!! By the way,
the map is of the western borders of Argentina.
