Spatial reference
Projection: Transverse Mercator
Datum: Bessel
Longitude of central meridian 15
False northing -22
False easting 0
Scale factor at central meridian 1.000000000
Spatial reference notes: The projection and co-ordinate system is that used by FINNCONSULT.

Bessel 1841, parameters:a = 6377397.155, 1/f = 1./299.152813

These were generated into spatial data objects in ArcCad which takes the bottom left corner of the text item as its Projection=Transverse Mercator (Gauss - Krueger)

co-ordinate position. Whether this is indeed the correct position of the place represented by the text is not known.


Fields Height_points.shp: Point objects representing elevation in metres above sea level. In addition, almost every object in

the original Microstation data carried with it an elevation parameter. These were deleted from most of the attribute
Field name Field description files saved in ArcView, but are present in the roads.shp, pipelines.shp, fences.shp and oshana.shp data sets. Field source/notes
