EPSG:2101 Lake / Maracaibo Grid M1
Projected system (Lambert Conic Conformal (1SP)) in use: Venezuela - Maracaibo area. The full definition below, and conversion in one click.
EPSG publishes no simple transformation to WGS 84 for this datum: conversion works on the ellipsoid alone and can be off by tens of metres.
