Share Projections, Ellipsoids, Units

By Dr. Robin Steeves

When you have your GeoLab map projections, reference ellipsoids, and linear units set up to meet your organization's requirements, you can easily share them with others in your group.

In the case of map projections, just distribute your GeoLab map projections database file, BWI_MP.CSV, which is found in the GLDBS sub-folder in your GeoLab installation folder.
​

The people to whom you send this file should close GeoLab, backup their current BWI_MP.CSV by renaming it to BWI_MP-001.CSV, for example, and then copy the received BWI_MP.CSV into their GLDBS folder.

You can use a similar procedure to distribute reference ellipsoid (BWI_RE.CSV) and linear unit (BWI_LU.CSV) definitions.
