    13131497 PROJ4 systems mapped to a CS-Map "Custom System".[[BR]]
    141484   PROJ4 systems could not be mapped to any existing system or could not be used to generate a custom system, no conversion at all.[[BR]]
     15[[BR]]
     16Here is how the general WKT mapping code works:[[BR]]
     17- read the WKT and try to detect the flavor[[BR]]
     18- decode the WKT sub elements: system, datum, ellipsoid, unit, ...[[BR]]
     19- generate a complete CS-Map definition based on all the gathered sub elements.[[BR]]
     20- validate the definition. At this stage if we succeed, we could stop because we have a valid system we can work with[[BR]]
     21- use this valid definition and with the help of the WKT mapping file try to map each sub element with a CS-Map element from its dictionary files: ellipsoid name, datum name, coordinate system name[[BR]]
     22- return either the definition generated from the WKT or the CS-Map definition with the names from the CS-Map dictionaries[[BR]]
     23[[BR]]
     24For those 84 that failed, it can be the syntax of the WKT that comes from PROJ4, a unit that CS-Map doesn't know about ...[[BR]]
     25If I randomly pick up a failed system like CH1903 which WKT is:[[BR]]
     26[[BR]]
     27PROJCS["unnamed",[[BR]]
     28        GEOGCS["Bessel 1841",[[BR]]
     29                DATUM["unknown",[[BR]]
     30                        SPHEROID["bessel",6377397.155,299.1528128]],[[BR]]
     31                PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],[[BR]]
     32                UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]],[[BR]]
     33        PROJECTION["Hotine_Oblique_Mercator"],[[BR]]
     34        PARAMETER["latitude_of_center",46.9524055555767],[[BR]]
     35        PARAMETER["longitude_of_center",7.4395833333842],[[BR]]
     36        PARAMETER["azimuth",90],[[BR]]
     37        PARAMETER["rectified_grid_angle",90],[[BR]]
     38        PARAMETER["scale_factor",1],[[BR]]
     39        PARAMETER["false_easting",600000],[[BR]]
     40        PARAMETER["false_northing",200000]][[BR]]
     41[[BR]]
     42there is no unit for the PROJCS system. That must be why CS-Map fails to just decode the string and extract its sub elements.[[BR]]
     43That means we are not even be at the stage of trying to generate a full definition or even to map it to a CS-Map name.[[BR]]
     44Another random system "panama" shows the same problem, no unit is available in the WKT for PROJCS.[[BR]]
     45So, it looks like the syntax of the failed WKTs is the reason of the failure.[[BR]]
