Hi,
I've got a problem with the results of the NZMG projection.
Using proj 4.7.1 (23 sept 2009), I got :
>proj -I +proj=nzmg
#2864916.8 6160570.9
#177d8'19.853"E39d41'14.816"S
But when I check my results with the Land Information New Zealand (LINZ)
http://www.linz.govt.nz/geodetic/conversion-coordinates/online-conversion-service/converter/index.aspx
I got :
# New Zealand Map Grid Northing Easting : 6160570.9 2864916.8
# World Geodetic System 1984 Latitude Longitude : 39 41 08.483 S 177 08 20.625 E
That is more than 6 minutes difference in Latitude !...
Both seems to use the same datum NZGD49.
I doubt that LINZ could be wrong...
So may be I did something wrong ?
Thanks for any help.
Claire
