Most of this data is received from the client who has no knowledge of the coordinate system/projection used. After finding the location of the project I often have to try and find out the projection thats used so that I can align everything in "real-world" space. Up until now I have used a website Georepository which lets you place a point on a map and it then gives a list of possible projections, however this website hasn't worked for a few months.</P><P></P><P>Does anybody know of any other resources that could help?</P><P></P><P>In an ideal world I would like to navigate to the location in ArcMap using a basemap and then a list of suggested projections would be available under the Coordinate System tab in Data frame Properties but im guessing this is something ofr the ESRI Ideas page</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 16 Mar 2016 11:17:08 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/coordinate-reference-systems-questions/suggested-projections-or-coordinate-systems/m-p/812878#M914 IeuanHarry1 2016-03-16T11:17:08Z Re: suggested projections or coordinate systems https://community.esri.com/t5/coordinate-reference-systems-questions/suggested-projections-or-coordinate-systems/m-p/812879#M915 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi, it looks liked the Georepository site is working for me:</P><P><A href="http://georepository.com/home.html" title="http://georepository.com/home.html">Geodetic Parameter Database</A> </P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 21 Mar 2016 17:38:06 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/coordinate-reference-systems-questions/suggested-projections-or-coordinate-systems/m-p/812879#M915 AdrianWelsh 2016-03-21T17:38:06Z Re: suggested projections or coordinate systems https://community.esri.com/t5/coordinate-reference-systems-questions/suggested-projections-or-coordinate-systems/m-p/812880#M916 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>You can search by name or area in ArcMap data frame properties, coordinate system tab.
