How to create a new projection in Map Windows. I have the new projection data which are False_Easting, False_Northing, Central_Meridian, Scale_Factor, Latitude_Of_Origin, Linear Unit: meter, GCS_WGS_1984, Datum: D_WGS_1984.
I need to make georeferencing me on this new projection and then create a shapefile.

Thanks a lot.

Projections are very difficult.
MapWindow uses the projections from GDAL/PROJ4
Your new projection should first be added to that library and then MapWindow will recognize it properly.
Does your projection have an EPSG code? Do you have a prj file from another application (like ArcGIS) that is correct?

Thanks Mr. Meems for your answer.
I don´t know what is an EPSG code, but I have a prj file I use with the ArcGIS software.
If you agree I can send the file prj.
Thank you very much for your help.

Friends found that CRTM05 EPSG code number is 5367. Then on the website [www.epsg-registry.org] enter the code 5367 and showed me the following information:

Name, Code, Type, Status, Area Description, Remarks / Description

CR05 / CRTM05, EPSG :: 5367, ProjectedCRS, Valid, Costa Rica - onshore and offshore east of 86 ° 30'W.

Mr. Paul

How do I add my projection to the library GDAL/PROJ4 and then MAP WINDOWS work on.
The name of the projection is CRTM05 and EPSG code is 5367 and also has a PRJ file.

Thank you for your attention

It seem [svn.osgeo.org] has some updated files which contain EPSG code 5367.

I've downloaded them, but can't test without a shapefile with a valid prj file.
Can you send me that to bontepaarden[AT]gmail[D0T]com.

I'm not sure if replace the files will be enough. We might need to recompile the GDAL library and thus MapWindow.
