Support custom geoid models

Open Withalion opened this issue 2 months ago • 1 comments

Currently there has been work done (#4234) to use orthometric heights by default. By default we use EGM96 geoid model bundled with the application. This model is precise enough for common work. However some high accuracy projects require setting a custom geoid model as mentioned here.

The idea is that we let admins set up custom geoid models in the QGIS plugin (MerginMaps/qgis-plugin#841), which will have to be packed with the project. Then the application uses this model for transformations.
