UTM Zone 17 North / EGM2008 1' PRJ File...
« on: July 04, 2017, 12:38:22 AM »
Hi Folks,

I was wondering if any of you already have the PRJ file for the UTM Zone 17 North / EGM 2008 1' already defined and ready to be used? I tried many times to construct this PRJ file but always fails miserably.

Anyone willing to share this file with everyone else?

Thanks in advance,

Milton

Paulo

I think thre following prj should do the tricK:

COMPD_CS["WGS 84 / UTM zone 17N +  EGM2008 geoid height",
   PROJCS["WGS 84 / UTM zone 17N",
      GEOGCS["WGS 84",
         DATUM["World Geodetic System 1984",
            SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563,AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]]],
         PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],
         UNIT["degree",0.01745329251994328,AUTHORITY["EPSG","9102"]],
         AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]],
      PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator",AUTHORITY["EPSG","9807"]],
      PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0],
      PARAMETER["central_meridian",-81],
      PARAMETER["scale_factor",0.9996],
      PARAMETER["false_easting",500000],
      PARAMETER["false_northing",0],
      UNIT["metre",1,AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]],
      AUTHORITY["EPSG","32617"]],
   VERT_CS["EGM2008 geoid height",
      VERT_DATUM["EGM2008  geoid",2005,AUTHORITY["EPSG","1027"]],
      UNIT["metre",1,AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]],
   AUTHORITY["EPSG","3855"]]]

Hope this helps,
Best Regards,
