[GRASS-user] Polish datum problem

Hi

This is rather question for Polish GRASS users....

Did anyone notice what had happed with "PUWG 1965" within Proj4 EPSG database?

Since PROJ version 4.6 is :

<2173> +proj=sterea +lat_0=53.58333333333334 +lon_0=17.00833333333333 +k=0.9998 +x_0=3501000 +y_0=5999000 +ellps=krass +units=m +no_defs <>

but shoud be:
"+proj=sterea +lat_0=53.58333333333334 +lon_0=17.00833333333333 +k=0.9998 +x_0=3501000 +y_0=5999000 +ellps=krass +towgs84=33.4,-146.6,-76.3,-0.359,-0.053,0.844,-0.84 +units=m +no_defs";

and it causes error when zone 1-4 is choosed:

WARNING:
Datum <Pulkowo_1942_58> not recognised by GRASS and no parametrs found

And what had happend with "PUWG1942"? Dissapeared???

Both 1965 and 1942 still exist in original EPSG and POSTGIS so I'm confused...

any suggestions?

Yes, I see that it disappeared.
EvenR told me in IRC right now, that it is back in proj-trunk.

http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/browser/trunk/proj/nad/epsg

and it causes error when zone 1-4 is choosed:

WARNING:
Datum <Pulkowo_1942_58> not recognised by GRASS and no parametrs found

And what had happend with "PUWG1942"? Dissapeared???

It temporarily disappeared in PROJ-4.7. :frowning:

Solutions:
- update the epsg file from trunk (but I dunno if that's compliant)
- we add the datums to lib/gis/datumtransform.table
?

Thanks for explanation Markus!
I simply use old epsg database (from proj 4.5) with actual proj 4.7 and it works for these datums I use

BTW: none one have noticed it for over the year???
