[postgis-users] Degrees to meters

[David William Bitner]

You need to find a projection (ie units in meters, not in lat long) that
suits the needs for the area you are working with and then you can use that
SRID along with a transform.  If you don't understand the differences
between projections, you should take some time to track down a textbook and
figure these things out.
