<br><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>I am not sure if this is a bug or just something I don't understand.</div><div><br></div><div>If I specify the -v option to cs2cs or proj (or the -V option to proj), the library helpfully prints </div>
<div>the parameters it's using for coordinate conversion.</div><div><br></div><div>I am wondering whether there is a bug in the output for UTM. For instance:</div><div><br></div><div><div>#Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)</div>
<div># Cyl, Sph</div><div># zone= south</div><div># +proj=utm +zone=30 +ellps=intl +towgs84=-87,-98,-121,0,0,0,0 +units=m</div><div># +no_defs</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>What exactly does "zone= south" mean? I know there's a "+south" option that's used to specify southern</div>
<div>hemisphere UTM zones but zone=south is unconditionally printed as far as I can tell.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div><br></div><div>carl</div>
