Search

The Coordinate Reference Systems dialog allows you to select a system based on any part of its name, region of use, or ID code. The primary source is the EPSG (European Petroleum Survey Group) database.

When you enter a valid Search string in the Search box, the list is updated dynamically. The list of coordinate reference systems is restricted to those with names that match or partially match the Search string.

For example:

• Type “gda” to get all GDA-based coordinate reference systems, as shown in the example below.

• Type “austr” to get all Australian coordinate reference systems.

• Type the ID “7856”, for example, to specifically choose GDA2020/MGA Zone 56.

A world map shows the bounds of the selected coordinate reference system in a global context. You can pan or zoom the map to see more detail:

Information about the selected reference system is shown below the list:
