I had a presesentation about this some years ago on INTERGEO fair. It was about nautic maps and how to use them with a compass (sailing from Europe to America). I am from Germany, our "Norths" are identical, but on a trip from South to North America with a compass only would make lots of

Expect nothing but surprises and bewilderment when working with that monopolized GIS company. =D You can work in WGS84, or GRS80. Just some other geographic coordinate system that doesnt use stereographic. http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4326/ IF you have a local state plane or UTM, that

Hi everyone, I have two GIS systems. First one is based on ArcInfo and the other one is based on Qgis 2.10. The system with ArcInfo uses Esri coverage data files. QGIS is able to read coverage data but I see differences between the coordinate expressed on map units between the two. For
