I feel yer pain.

We had one manufacturing site that was using plant coordinates since the day the plant was plotted. They wanted to everything done to match the old plant coordinates and at the same time have the new images in WGS84 to work with the GPS and laptops. Then they asked us to update all the old paper maps. We "let" them do that themselves.

Of course then they bought the plant next door, and it had a all different plant coordinates and mess of paper plots. I felt sorry for their GIS guy.
