Dear Barbara,

one of my Chinese master students, Li Hui MSc, told me:

As I know:
In China, the basical scale map include:1:5000, 1:10T, 1:25T 
,1:50T,1:100T,1:250T,1:500T,1:1000T
And, if the scale is bigger than 500T, uses Gauss-Kruger projection
if smaller than 500T, uses Lambert Conformal Conic projection,
and smaller than 500T on the sea, uses  Mercator projection.

Regards

Hi
Does anyone have the details for datums and projections used in Chinese
maps? I have downloaded some of the CIESIN data and it's in Lambert
Conformal Conic projection. The readme file includes the following:

COORDINATE SYSTEM

All coverages are in LAMBERT CONFORMAL CONIC PROJECTION with two standard parallel latitudes: 25.00N and 47.00N. The central meridian is 110.00E and the latitude of projection's origin is 10.00N. The units are
meters.

If anyone has the details to edit the mapinfo.prj file it would be very
greatly appreciated. Thanks! Barbara Carroll
