Re: [gdal-dev] Vertical and geocentric coordinate support in OGR/PROJ4

All, I see reference to the NAVD88 grids. Are there any of the other vertical grids available? If not, can and or how would one add, say, the hybrid GEOID09 grids? David Baker Sent from my iPhone On Aug 24, 2011, at 1:38 PM, Even Rouault wrote: > Le mercredi 24 août 2011 02:48:44, Ben Discoe

Ben, I appreciate this attempt to elucidate the current status of vertical and geocentric coordinate support for OGR/proj.4. Indeed it was work that Frank had been doing the past year or so before being snatched up by the Google. As you've found out, it's not quite complete or thoroughly docume

Hi folks, The issues of geocentric CS and vertical CS are distinct, but they are related in an important way: Geocentric coordinates are not very useful to the GIS world unless they can be converted to orthometric ("sea level") heights, which involves a vertical CS. Currently, the GDAL/OGR/PRO
