An easier search for CRS and their details?

[SimonKettle]

An easier place to search for coordinate systems...

If you need a quick and easy to use resource for coordinate systems search try: EPSG.io. This is an open source web-service providing a database based on the official EPSG database that is maintained by OGP Geomatics Committee.

You can quickly search for an area, name and type like any other web-search engines.

For Example searching "United Kingdom" and click on the British National Grid result produces the following page:

See below for a British National Grid example:

OSGB 1936 / British National Grid - United Kingdom Ordnance Survey - EPSG:27700

Some of the Key Features:

• Easy full text search for the complete database of coordinate systems from EPSG
• Short URLs that reference the EPSG code e.g. http://epsg.io/27700
• Area of use for any CRS referenced on an embedded map
• Export definitions in various formats

That is a fantastic resource. Thank you Simon.

Been using the epsg dataset for years. But this is a very nice addition to the toolkit.
