Dear Dr. Oduntan, If you are looking for coordinate reference systems (CRS) around the globe than I would recommend to use the nomenclature of [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> . It also helps to identify specific CRS including the specific parameters of each CRS. * https://www.epsg-registry.org/ * http://www.epsg.org/GuidanceNotes * http://www.epsg.org/Portals/0/373-07-1.pdf Have a look at EUREF and ITRF in order to put WGS-84 into the global picture: * http://etrs89.ensg.ign.fr/ * http://www.euref.eu/ Kind regards Gerhard Dipl.-Ing.Dr. Gerhard Muggenhuber <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask] BEV - <http://www.bev.gv.at/> www.bev.gv.at - Federal Office of Metrology and Surveying Vice-Head Dept.

September 2018 20:59 An: [log in to unmask] Betreff: Competitors to WGS-84 Dear All, This is for our more scientific colleagues. I am aware that the WGS-84 is not the only show in town, although it appears to be the most subscribed/successful. I am after the name and description of its competitors if any is still standing -particularly one that used to be a French system. Hope someone can help on this.
