GPS is always the tricky part. When is it really good? A Kahlman filter
is the best practical solution. For that we use systems like those from
Oxford Technical Solutions. In the case I am discussing here, we are
messing around a bit. 

But how to make this projection choice automatic? That is what I am
trying to accomplish.
