Can't create a location using Select Coordinate System option with WXGUI Location Wizard

[voncasec]

I can't specify a UTM projection using the WXGUI's location wizard unless I also have a specific transformation parameter to select. For example, if I wanted to create a location using a UTM Zone 11 Projection with the NAD83 datum, I can only proceed if I choose one of the transformation parameters specific to either Florida, Maryland,Tennessee, Wisconsin or Washington. Since none of these transformation parameters apply, I have no option to select. The Next button remains 'Greyed' out unless an option is selected. Because Next remains 'Greyed' out, I am not able to complete the process of creating a location.

Either a Default transformation parameter for the whole region should be added that is selectable, or people should be able to proceed without choosing a local transformation parameter.

Which parameters did you expect? We may be able to add them.

From ML:

I shouldn't have listed this as a major defect, because there are already alternative options for selecting a coordinate system (e.g. using EPSG code or proj4 definition). Its more of an inconvenience.

If I go through the location wizard and choose the "select EPSG code of a coordinate system" option, I can navigate through the list, chose a UTM projection using the NAD83 datum (e.g. Zone 10 N). After hitting the next button I am given the option to choose my datum transformation option. The first option says it is the default used in the whole nad83 region (towgs84 = 0,0,0). However this default datum transformation option is not available when I go through the "Select Coordinate System" option using location wizard.

I guess I was expecting a "default" datum transformation parameter when creating a location using the choose coordinate system option, similar to how it exists with the select EPSG code option.

I have only noticd this with NAD83 projections so far.

This is now fixed in develbranch_6 r39309. Please test on Linux and Windows platforms so this can be backported to release branch and trunk.
