Hi Robert, Can you check to see that 2193 (NZTM2000) is included in the look-up table of projections used by GDAL?
If not, you might try fully describing the parameters in proj.4 syntax instead of using the EPSG notation, see: http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/2193/ Cheers, Brent Wood --- On Mon, 9/21/09, Robert Sanson <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Robert Sanson <[email protected]> > Subject: [mapserver-users] Preparing GeoTIFF files for use in Mapserver > To: [email protected] > Date: Monday, September 21, 2009, 12:31 PM > > > > > Hi > > I am trying to use gdal_translate to convert some > image files (PNGs and JPEGs) into GeoTIFFs for using in > Mapserver.
