Feature request #2705
Updated by Nyall Dawson almost 5 years ago
Hello,
I want to export a layer with MGI Austria Lambert (EPSG 31287) to WGS 84 (EPSG 4326) with fTools. The problem ist that the result has an x- and y-axis error of 100 meters or so because the transformation doesn't use the right parameters. For MGI to WGS 84 there are some different transformation methods but only MGI_To_WGS_1984_3 (EPSG 1618) is the one that is right and that is recommended by the official Austrian Institute BEV.

and the correct parameters below:
Is it possible to change the parameters in QGIS transformation manually (user defined projection) or can you implement this function as a new transformation?
Thank you!
regards,
Philipp
