[gdal-dev] gdalwarp EPSG:32662 problem

[Antti Castrén]

Hello Steve,

You asked for any thoughts, so here are some.

The 20km shift could easily be caused by using spherical version in
one implementation of equirectangular projection and ellipsoidal
version in the other. Amount of shift depends on the latitude.

You can find some information on these pages:

http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/proj_list/equirectangular.html

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.proj-4.devel/981

Read especially the comments of the latter.

Hope these help,

  Antti
