Hello Roger,

I am using these parameters in ttMaps :

+proj=tmerc +lat_0=39.66666666666666 +lon_0=-8.131906111111112  +k=1 
+x_0=180.598  +y_0=-86.98999999999999  +ellps=intl 
+towgs84=-239.749,88.181,30.488,0.263,0.082,1.211,2.229 +units=m +no_defs

The result is :
-16496.92	222796.31
that is far better than with your parameters.

Obviously your +towgs84 parameter is wrong, since the datums are different.

Jean-Claude
