Hey Martin,<br><br>There just seems to be a big discrepancy for me between proj and proj4j.<br><br>Using the string with the tows84 method and 5.387638889,52.156160556 as my test point, <br>- Proj gives me 154976.16420640881,463086.51164757559<br>
- proj4j gives me x = 4761867.817294979 y = 2527483.7229957823<br><br>Does anyone else get similar results?<br><br>Thanks.<br><br>Fitz<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 10, 2012 at 1:13 AM, Martin Davis <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mtnclimb@gmail.com">mtnclimb@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>The SVN version of EPSG:28992 has the +towgs parameter, whereas the version in the PROJ.4 distro archive does not. <br><br>Apparently this change was due to user demand, for what is a apparently a more accurate definition. If you search for "EPSG:28992" you'll find lots of discussion about this. This blog post seems to be authoritative on the subject:<br>

Out of curiousity, what are the issues that you're seeing with this new definition?<br>
