Map projections David Groves groves <a href="mailto:groves@rand.org">groves@rand.org</a>Hello,

I have an existing WEAP model to which I am trying to add some vector-based maps. The GIS expert that is helping me tells me that the maps I'd like to add use a NAD1927 projection, yet the WEAP "Country Map" on which my model is built uses a WGS1984 projection.

I'm told that to convert to WGS1984, he needs to specify one of 25 different WGS1984 projections. Does anyone know which one is the correct one?

Thank you,

David Groves
