I downloaded LiDAR data from Slovenia (link on the bottom). After searching google for the right projection, I found that normally I should use MGI 1901/Slovene National Grid; EPSG:3912 or Slovenia 1996/Slovenian national grid EPSG:3794.

With these EPSG codes, the projection is somewhere in the water. So I went on searching and found the EPSG code 3787. That's something Military Geographic.

These projection is almost correct, but I still have to shift the False Northing about 8 Meters. Yet I have very little difference on the Lidar projection.

In Global Mapper my main projection is set to Mercator and I am using the normal World Imagery as my base map.

The LiDAR files are from this site: Lida GIS Viewer (on the right side, check one of the checkboxes and click in one or more square on the map to download)

What do I have to do, to get the projection correct?

    Your link points just to data viewer. Where did you download your data from? In what format? – TomazicM Feb 22 '20 at 19:25
  • On the right side you can choose Lidar - just check the red one and you will get a raster. When you click on a raster, you will get a button to download the file/s. I downloaded the .laz format. – Santos Feb 22 '20 at 19:44
  • If you downloaded data with D48GK projection, that's definitely old Slovenian EPSG:3912 (see remarks at epsg.io/3912). If you downloaded data with D96TM projection, that's definitely new Slovenian EPSG:3794 (see the same remarks). – TomazicM Feb 22 '20 at 19:54
  • hmm, its absolutly not wiórking for me. As soon as I load the Lidar file and add either the old or the new EPSG, its on a complete wrong position. When I use these military EPSG, its almost correct. Did you try loading it into Global Mapper? – Santos Feb 22 '20 at 20:55

Solved.

To get a 100% accurate overlap with the base map, I imported the Lidar files first (not the base map) and chose EPSG:3794.

After loading the Lidar, I added the the base map as a second layer.

That way the two projections are overlapping 100% accurate.
