Implementation of the 2D similarity transformation (identified by codes 100800400 and 800100400) of the Cartographic Institute of Catalonia for the transformation between datums ED50 and ETRS89
to projected UTM-coordinates 31N. This new transformation is more
accurate and it has been implemented to replace the one in the 7.0e version of
MiraMon, which essentially was treating as equivalent the ETRS89 and WGS84. This
assimilation is sufficiently accurate for maps of smaller detail than 1:5000
but the current exceeds it in accuracy in maps up to 1:1000 or in
certain areas that have higher resolution.

1:5000 topographic maps, 1:25000 and 1:5000 ortophotos, etc) will be
available in 2006 in MiraMon format. Users will be able to choose
between buying it in ICC shops in CD/DVD support or to freely download them

CREAF acknowledges the historical importance of this agreement for the
MiraMon project since it will allow to have the cartography for the whole
country freely available to all citizens of Catalonia in MiraMon format
(free MiraMon Map Reader and MiraMon Professional). This will not only
avoid to carry out tedious import processes but,
specially, it will guarantee access to an excellent product in an optimal
format for performing GIS operations with MiraMon.
