[Proj] EPSG Code of Google at spatialreference.org

[Noel Zinn (cc)]

Here's another link that provides the mathematics of the Web Mercator 
projection used by Google and Microsoft.  Unlike the Spherical Mercator and 
the Ellipsoidal Mercator (which are conformal), the Web Mercator is 
non-conformal.  Scale factor formulas are given to document this fact.
