Description

Please update +towgs84 parameter for the Israel ITM grid (EPSG:2039).
The 7 parameter transformation is officially published at the Israel mapping service:
http://www.mapi.gov.il/AboutUs/NewsAndUpdates/Documents/IGD.pdf

These are the parameters from WGS to Israel grid so for +towgs84 I guess we need to change the sign of the parameters shown below:

X -24.0024 m
Y -17.1032 m
Z -17.8444 m

Rotation

RX -0.0000016003 rad= -0."33009
RY -0.0000089821 rad= -1."85269
RZ 0.0000080949 rad= 1."66969

Scale Factor

m =1.0000054248 =5.4248 PPM

History

#1 Updated by Andre Joost over 10 years ago

This should be reported to the Proj4 bug tracker, because QGIS takes all CRS from there.

Proj4 only uses valid EPSG transformations, and EPSG only knows EPSG::1073 with 3 parameters.

http://www.epsg-registry.org/ notes:

Remarks:
For more accurate transformation contact Survey of Israel.

So you will have to convince EPSG to make a Revision according to the official 7-parameters you found in the document, then Proj will adopt these, and QGIS will follow.
