Hi Carlos:

I georeferenced 2 screen shots of your maps and obtained good results.  I would have a close look at the coordinates of your ground control points and make sure you selected the utm grid intersection as a control point versus the corner of the mapsheet which is a lat/long grid. It is easy to make a simple mistake

Thanks for the input Nicolas

These are official maps so the utm grid is ok. I figured that I was using a linear transformation, with the option to just create the world file, which works for control points at the corners (lat/long), since the boundaries of the map is defined by latitude/longitude. With UTM, this simple transformation won't work, but TPS will give the correct results.

    Hi,
    The utm grid is way off or we have the wrong epsg code.  If you
    geofence using 2 points (linear algo)  using a service like google
    earth, you will see the distortion.  The long lat coordinate are
    probably ok but I did not test them.

    You can either use the long lat or use more points. With 4 points
    and using the thin plate spline, I got good results.

    Thanks Nicolas, but the misalignment still persists. OTF is off,
    project has same CRS as data (epsg 29192). There is a ~400m
    difference in the N-S direction.

        Hi,
        Disable projection on the fly. Make sure the project is in
        the same CRS as your maps.

        Hello all

        I have two pngs of topographic maps from southeastern Brazil
        (a zip file with images and points is available here:
        https://www.dropbox.com/s/mexeh4be46pgsk6/images_georef.zip?dl=0
        <https://www.dropbox.com/s/mexeh4be46pgsk6/images_georef.zip?dl=0>)

        I'm trying to georeference them, but with partial success
        only. In this image
        (https://www.dropbox.com/s/37xxqp4fkwpdyqh/utm_error.png?dl=0
        <https://www.dropbox.com/s/37xxqp4fkwpdyqh/utm_error.png?dl=0>)
        you can see that the X coordinate is fine, but the Y
        coordinate of the two maps won't match.

        Both maps use South American Datum 1969. I selected points
        near the edges, and used the UTM values.

        Interestingly, if I use Lat/Long, and place the points at
        the corners, using decimal degrees, the maps align perfectly.


        Any help is appreciated
