OSGB OSTN15 supported?

Hi all,

I'm currently using v20.1 and wondering whether GM is using OSTN02 or OSTN15 for OSGB36 transforms?

I came across the same question on here from 2018 but doesnt have a response so I'm asking again.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards

    To add to the above. I imported a KMZ which has been exported from Arc using NTv2 OSTN02 and loaded into GM with the original SHP and a KMZ exported from GM.

    The SHP and KMZ from GM matched perfectly but the KMZ from ArcGis did not. I assume its because Arc is using a newer projection than GM.

    Is there any way to add the newer projection to GM?

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    I do support the request of @veddycent to embed the NTv2 OSTN15 transformation in GM (this is widely used nowadays).

    OSTN15 transformation (OSGB36 to ETRS89 NTv2 version) has EPSG code 7709, Ordance Survey has published a toolpack for developers on their site:

    Hello,

    Support for OSTN15 was added in Global Mapper 22.1, which is available now.

    Cheers,
    Bob
