Hello Mwape,
If you can identify 2 or 3 landmarks in the old maps, for which you can
also obtain UTM coordinates then you can derive a transformation from
one system to the other (look up coordinate transformation) and apply it
using the "Translate" or "Rotate" tools in the coordinates menu. If you
can get a bunch of points then you may get better results if you
'rubbersheet' your data, but I don't think Geosoft provides a tool for that.

Dear All
Am working on historical exploration plans for a project in Zambia that was
worked on by some RST company in the 1950 - 1960s. Unfortunately they were
using a local coordinate system that I do not understand for instance the
coordinate Y-10 000, X+25 000. I want to georefference the plans in UTM. Is
there a way to convert them in Target or any other formula? Someone told me the
coordinates are in Loc 29 and in feet.
Thanks
Mwape
