Don,
here are some clarification. Proj4 is not precise enough for French projection, because we need a shiftgrid that does not seems to be implemented.
for EPSG:27573, the provided projection string is
+proj=lcc +lat_1=44.10000000000001 +lat_0=44.10000000000001 +lon_0=0 +k_0=0.999877499 +x_0=600000 +y_0=3200000 +a=6378249.2 +b=6356515 +towgs84=-168,-60,320,0,0,0,0 +pm=paris
where it should be
+proj=lcc +nadgrids=ntf_r93.gsb,null +towgs84=-168.0000,-60.0000,320.0000 +a=6378249.2000 +rf=293.4660210000000 +pm=2.337229167 +lat_0=46.800000000 +lon_0=0.000000000 +k_0=0.99987742 +lat_1=46.800000000 +x_0=600000.000 +y_0=2200000.000 +units=m +no_defs
Proj4 does not support that parameter +nadgrids=ntf_r93.gsb
so the question is: How do I provide my own logic for this particular projection ?
Thank you for your help
Patrick.
