Hello Everyone,
I have a very simple question regarding Coordinate Systems. I found out there were "LL83" and "LL-83" which looked pretty much same.
Do you guys know what is the major difference between those two systems?
Thank you!

Difference between LL83 and LL-83

While in FME Workbench, open Tools / Browse Coordinate Systems. You can then locate both coordinate systems and compare their definitions.
I'm no expert on the matter, but since their OGC/ESRI WKT description is identical I would assume there's no difference between them.

LL-83 does not have that limitation so it can be used globally (but it may not be the best option.
And just to clarify, if you have data that falls outside of that envelope and you want to reproject it to LL83 FME won't actually stop you from doing that, or warn you.

In modern times we're *much* more careful. But that said we do sync our definitions with some open source folks and occasionally get names we might not have completely desired.
Sorry for the ambiguity.
