Subject: Re: [gislist] Common Map Projection for Morocco?
Date:  07/15/2005 08:40:01 AM
From:  Kumar Royan



Hi,

You may want to read the June 1999 PE&RS article on Moroccan Projections
under their Grids and Datum column . Its available at
/http://www.asprs.org/resources/grids/06-99-morocco.pdf

/The extents coordinates suggest that they may still be in some
digitizer or drawing coordinate system.
Good Luck.

Kumar Royan
