QGIS: Custom CRS for JIE

Elvira

The Jurong Industrial Estate (JIE) GIS dataset requires a custom coordinate reference system (CRS) for its location in Singapore.

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a user-defined CRS in QGIS.

Go to QGIS: Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS) to learn more about CRS and its applications.

Go to Settings > Custom CRS.
