I would like to convert the Bing basemap in ArcMap (10.3) into the same projection as a dataset I have for Paris. In ArcMap there are no transformation options in the Data Frame Properties listed to do this. I think the problem is that the Paris dataset's geographic coordinate system is labeled as "Unknown". I want to"
Go from: WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere
To: Lambert_Conformal_Conic
Authority: Custom
Projection: Lambert_Conformal_Conic
false_easting: 700000.0
false_northing: 6600000.0
central_meridian: 3.0
standard_parallel_1: 44.0
standard_parallel_2: 49.0
latitude_of_origin: 46.5
Linear Unit: Meter (1.0)
Geographic Coordinate System: GCS_Unknown
Angular Unit: Degree (0.0174532925199433)
Prime Meridian: Greenwich (0.0)
Datum: D_GRS_80
Spheroid: GRS_80
Semimajor Axis: 6378137.0
Semiminor Axis: 6356752.314140356
Inverse Flattening: 298.257222101
Any suggestions?
Many Thanks,
Richard
Hi Richard,
Open a blank map.
Go to Data Frame Properties > Coordinate System > New projected coordinate system/Import.
Define the LCC projection system as mentioned by you.
Else you could import the coordinate system from the dataset.
Open the Bing basemap on it. The basemap will be projected on the fly to the defined LCC projection.
Thanks,
Jay
