[Proj] Question from bad programmer

[Simon Agholor]

I am not sure if these values are correct.

I am overlaying a vector sheet in lat/lon on top of raster sheets in lcc. I
was give the projection from wgs84 to lcc but when I change the extents of
the vector sheet the points and lines on the vector sheet do not match the
positions they should be on in the raster sheet.

Simon -

How do you know what you "should" be getting?  What is the source of the
reference values you're using?

Hi

I have just noticed that I am about 100 meters out of what I should be
getting.

53.333889, -1.968552 => 1044152, 2100526

53.334186, -1.968341 => 1044169, 2100558

can anyone think of anything that might improve the accuracy

I am using the method _pj_fwd(...); after the initalizing the params

+proj=lcc +lat_1=44 +lat_2=54 +lat_0=49.08516574 +lon_0=5 +x_0=1507373
+y_0=1607866 +datum=WGS84
