+# This init file provides definitions for CH1903 and CH1903/LV03
+# projections using the distortion grids developed by Swisstopo.
+# See: https://shop.swisstopo.admin.ch/en/products/geo_software/GIS_info
+#
+# You'll need to download the grids separately and put in a directory
+# scanned by libproj. Directories may be added to the scan list through
+# the PROJ_LIB environment variable
+#
+# Note that an independent effort was made to derive an usable grid
+# from the CH1903->CH1903+ grid initially available from the Swisstopo
+# website. You can read about this other effort here:
+# http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/proj/2012-February/006093.html
+# It may be of interest because the latter was by some reported as being
+# more accurate than the former:
+# http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/proj/2012-February/006119.html

+# This init file uses the official one
