[GRASS-user] EPSG code for KML

GRASS GRASS user

Dear List,

I occasionally use Google Earth –GE– (kml files) and I am aware of the fact that there is a bit of distortion (i.e., metric offset) between GE and other projections for a variety of reasons. I am wondering if anyone knows whether there is an EPSG code for KML format so that I can create a LOCATION in Grass using this code and avoid/minimize such distortions when I import vector files.

Thanks,

Hi Bulent,
the officiale EPSG for Spherical Mercator is EPSG:3785 [1] , though
you can find EPSG.900913 too (this is depracted now, as far as I
know).
