According to the cookbook of the GeoTIFF Specification, the natural processing order should be : 1) check that GTModelTypeGeoKey=ModelTypeProjected 2) look at the value of ProjectedCSTypeGeoKey But this does not really seem to be enforced as a hard requirement. Currently GDAL implements that and in the case of the offending test data, it returns LOCAL_CS[""unnamed"",UNIT[""metre"",1,AUTHORITY[""EPSG"",""9001""]]]. FrankW has agreed that before returning LOCAL_CS, checking if ProjectedCSTypeGeoKey is defined and then assuming GTModelTypeGeoKey=ModelTypeProjected would make sense. This shouldn't cause regressions for other cases. Note that this could similarly be extended for the GCS case, but I won't go onto that slippery way until they invent the corresponding offending data ;-)" enhancement closed normal 1.7.0 GDAL_Raster unspecified normal fixed
