Dear All Proj User & Developer,
I am a new user of Proj (and Geodesy system too).
I want to create cartesian coordinate in Nautical Miles unit,
which it center (0,0) on some point in Jakarta (Indonesia)
with coordinate in WGS84: 06d11m18.00sS 106d31m36.00sE
my questions are:
1. Can I use Proj to create my coordinate system above?
I have read the manual, it should use +ellps=WGS84,
but I don't know which +proj= to use?
2. If the coordinate center in above, what is the point
(coordinate) of Medan, North Sumatera (Indonesia) with
coordinate in WGS84: 03d30m17.47sN 098d36m27.58sE ?
3. Can I use Proj to calculate the distance between two
points above? If it can't, can you give me another
library to calculate the distance (and do coordinate
conversion) in WGS84 coordinate with C/C++ binding?
sorry about my newbie question and
thanks for your kind attentions.
