[Proj] Info on proj4 formulas

[Antti Castrén]

Hi,

It seems that they differ at least on Transverse Mercator. OGP
Guidance currently recommends so called JHS formulas which are
satisfactory within +/-40 degrees from central meridian compared to
Snyder's +/-4 degrees. Snyder's formulas seem to be coded in proj.4
PJ_tmerc if I have read the current version correctly.

For more information read OGP document pages 48...53


Cheers,

  Antti

FYI: The so called JHS formulas were actually created by prof R A
Hirvonen and published (in Finnish) already back in 1972.
