What is the Gauss Krueger Projection?
Gauss Krueger Coordinate System There is a site in Geneva for the European Petroleum Studies Group (EPSG) that gives free data out on many Grid Systems in Europe. Note that Switzerland does not use a Transverse Mercator; it uses a Rosenmund Oblique Cyllindrical that just by chance is already programmed in PROJ4. European use of the Transverse Mercator has been 100% Gauss-Kruger (u with an umlaut on Kruger) since the Second World War. Prior to WWII, there’s some pretty weird stuff (in Europe) that is currently found only in the various colonies settled by the European Nations. The various formulae that comprise the family of Transverse Mercator truncations are rarely found in English. Most of the stuff is German and Eastern European languages; occasionally French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. A little bit is in Mandarin. by: Clifford J. Mugnier cjmce@uno.
