This file is from libLAS' samples library, called test.las at http://liblas.org/samples You must link libLAS with GDAL and GeoTIFF to be able to replicate, but the code is the same gt_wkt_srs.cpp from the frmts/gtiff driver

It uses r16109 of gt_wkt_srs.cpp http://liblas.org/browser/trunk/src/gt_wkt_srs.cpp

This GeoTIFF key sets both the PCS and the PCSCitationGeoKey, and it is seriously confused. It sets the PCS to 26958, which is Florida East, but then it tries to set the PCSCitationGeoKey to something with HARN in it.

The PCS says it is: http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/26958/

But the PCSCitationGeoKey means: http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/2777/

I don't think this is a bug. This GeoTIFF is misspecified. The only bug is that the vertical units is not preserved, and the code for setting the PCSCitationGeoKey doesn't use the SetCitationToSRS code in a similar fashion to how the GTCitationGeoKey is set. I have fixed this in r16723.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Analyzed to be mostly invalid 6 years ago and a related fix was also done then.
