[R-sig-Geo] CRS format

[Shaun Walbridge]

Adeela,

It from the look of your CSV, the data appears to be in geographic
(unprojected)
coordinate space. It's most likely WGS84[1], which has an EPSG code of
4326.
I'd start with '+init=epsg:4326' and see if that does the trick.

Cheers,
Shaun

Hi,
I want to project my data on a map. The data were taken from a town of
Faisalabad city in Pakistan. But I don't know how to place an 'epsg' value
for that. As for meuse data set the codes are:

data(meuse)
>coordinates(meuse)<-~x+y # convert to SPDF
>proj4string(meuse) <- CRS('+init=epsg:28992')

For my dataset
coordinates(mt)<-~XCORD+YCORD

how can I find the epsg code.
Regards,
Adeela
