[OSRS-PROJ] UTM vs TMERC

[Clifford J Mugnier]

Generally speaking that is correct IF you are only interested in staying
within the +/- 3 degrees of the central meridian.  Zone extensions can be
problemmatic, especially for surveying/geodetic transformation accuracies.
When one starts "chasing millimeters," there are more mathematical details
that need to be accounted for.  For GIS applications withing the 6-degree
belt, they are usually inconsequential.

Omry,

Right.  You can do any UTM projection conversion with appropriate choice of
Transverse Mercator parameters.
