[OSRS-PROJ] Pseudo X/Y values, forward and reverse

[Clifford J Mugnier]

Zone 10 is Lambert Conformal Conic (Aleutian Islands) and should return to
the same starting coordinates when going great distances from the central
meridian of zone 10.  Such is NOT the case for Transverse Mercator which is
zones 2-9.

Willy -

Can you provide us with the numbers you're using in your sample?

Are you correctly interpreting and re-entering the lat/lon values?  It
sounds like you could be getting (for example) output lat/lon in degrees
and decimal minutes which is being input as degrees/minutes/seconds.

We are struggling with the following problem.  Perhaps someone could
comment.

Alaska has 10 Stateplane zones.  Let's say a point exists in zone 10 and
we
want the pseudo x/y for zone 4.  On forward projection the given
lat/long
returns x/y values calculated for zone 4. When one then re-inputs the
x/y
values into the algorithm to get a lat/long, the inverse does not return
to
the same point.  In fact, in terms of feet, it is nearly a mile off !
What
might be going wrong here, and should one expect to be able to
"round-trip"
a point when junmping across zones?

Thanks,
