Hey,
My northing numbers are way off, so I must be doing something wrong.
I want to convert lat/long to the following coordinate system:
PROJCS["NAD_1983_StatePlane_New_Hampshire_FIPS_2800_Feet",
GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1983",
DATUM["D_North_American_1983",
SPHEROID["GRS_1980", 6378137.0, 298.257222101]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],
UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],
PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],
PARAMETER["False_Easting",984250.0],
PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],
PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",-71.66666666666667],
PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",0.9999666666666667],
PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",42.5],
UNIT["Foot_US",0.3048006096012192]]
I am initializing proj as follows:
proj +proj=tmerc +lat_0=42.5 +lon_0=-71.66666666666667 +k=0.9999666666666667 +x_0=984250.0 +y_0=0 +Units=Foot_US
I have a spot in SE New Hampshire, along the southern border with Massachusetts, close to the SE corner:
-71.32228851666666 42.69722980277778
If you give 42.69722980277778, -71.32228851666666 to http://maps.google.com/, it will show you a spot in New Hampshire (but gives a closest address in Massachusetts just across the border, no big deal).
