Hi all, some of our customers are complaining that ESRI products, eg. ArcMap, can't recognize the spatialreference system of GeoTIFF files written with gdal_translate.
First I must admit that I don't have ArcMap at hand and can't test intensly. But I verified the statement with a colleagues instance of ArcMap (V9.3). To be precise, if I do the following: gdal_translate -a_srs epsg:25832 in.tif out.tif ArcMap isn't able to identify the reference system of out.tif correctly. Especially if I try to reproject the data on-the-fly into another system, the right transformation methods are not shown. If I look into the header data, I see that gdal has written "ETRS89 / UTM zone 32N" as the name of the crs. Files that ArcMap can identify correctly have "ETRS_1989_UTM_Zone_32N" as crs. May be this is a reason for misinterpretation? I wonder, if anyone else has experienced this or similar behaviour. And how can I achieve that ESRI- *and* gdal-Tools can identify the correct reference system. Thanks in advance!
