Geopackage EPSG codes issues - Global Mapper not reading correct EPSG code

Hi

has anyone worked with geopackage files?

I recently received some imagery in that format and the provider said that the EPSG code was 3857 but when loaded onto GM it would load as 3397 and subsequently in the wrong location. If I was to use QGIS, the image would load as 3857 as per our requirements.

This is the first time ever that I come across something like that.

When using other software packages, ArcMAP and QGIS, the first image would always load onto 3857 as we were expecting to. Only in Global Mapper it loads as 3397.

Now It seems that I cannot reproject a geopackage inside Global Mapper so that created a whole load of issues with this image.

I went back to the provider and asked them to provide it to us in a different coordinate system and we agreed on EPSG 4326 which loaded fine, in the correct location etc in Global Mapper and in all other software packages.

The biggest difference between 3857, 3397 and 4326 is that the first two are Mercator systems and the last is Geographical.

 I feel that there might be an issue with Global Mapper and geopackage files and Mercator coordinate systems.

Note that I am still using v20.1 of Global Mapper.

any ideas?

thanks all
