[Proj] The Michigan Georef Projection Problem

[Clifford J Mugnier]

If memory serves me correctly, the Michigan Georef projection is just a
Hotine RSO with a differently-scaled ellipsoid to compensate for the
average elevation of the state.  To convert between that and standard State
Plane, you'd have to go through an ellipsoid change first.

Hello,

I have run into problems with the Michigan Georef projection and I think I
have read all the threads on it, which did not end up coming up with a
solution.  Have there been any fixes for this projection?  If not, then I
might need to work on Proj, which is a bit scary, but I still have the code
of a VB program I wrote that performs the transformation for michigan
georef to state plane and vice versa.  But, before I delve into Proj's
code, I just wanted to check on this listing if anybody has solved the
problem.

Until then, I will hope for the best.
Happy Holidays
