Will there be support for +geoidgrids ? its commonly used for height transformation

[lemontmoon]

Hi.

Our transformation uses Slovakia_ETRS89h_to_Baltic1957.gtx file that should be used as geoidgrid

Will there be support for +geoidgrids soon ? With some python code we can get correct transformations, but maybe because of we cant use .gtx file for transformation using proj4 yet, we are getting height always around 0.17 meters.

our example :

CoordinateReferenceSystem ETRS89 = 
  CRS.createFromParameters(
    "lonlat", 
    "+proj=longlat +ellps=bessel +towgs84=589,76,480,0,0,0,0 +no_defs +nadgrids=Slovakia_JTSK03_to_JTSK.gsb"
  );

CoordinateReferenceSystem SJSTK = 
  CRS.createFromParameters(
    "5514", 
    "+proj=krovak +lat_0=49.5 +lon_0=24.8333333333333 +alpha=30.2881397527778 +k=0.9999 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=bessel +towgs84=485.021,169.465,483.839,7.786342,4.397554,4.102655,0 +units=m +no_defs +geoidgrids=Slovakia_ETRS89h_to_Baltic1957.gtx"
  ); 

I have imported files correctly, so we can get lon lat correctly, but height is incorrect.

Thanks.

Hello, that's been not on the radar, and any help with implementing support for this feature is highly appreciated!
