Not an expert in reading or interpreting map-projections. I have data
set with the following description.
The coordinates are in Albers Equal Area Conic projection, with the
following projection settings: Scale = 1; False Easting(m) = 5000000;
False Northing(m) = 0; Longitude Origin = 20; Latitude Origin = 0;
Standard Parallel 1 = 45; Standard Parallel 2 = 55, and the Ellipsoid is
WGS 84.
I tired to set the right coordinate system:
proj4string(df) = CRS("+proj=aea
+lon_0=20+lat_0=0+lat_1=45+lat_2=55+x_0=5000000+y_0=0+ellps=wgs84+units=m")
I appreciate suggestions on what I might be missing.
Thanks, Navin
