In the routine PJ_mod_ster.c which handles the gs48 projection
the code is:
ENTRY0(gs48)
static COMPLEX /* 48 United States */
AB[] = {
{0.98879, 0.},
{0., 0.},
{-0.050909, 0.},
{0., 0.},
{0.075528, 0.}
};
P->n = 4;
P->lam0 = DEG_TO_RAD * -96.;
P->phi0 = DEG_TO_RAD * -39.;
P->zcoeff = AB;
P->es = 0.;
P->a = 6370997.;
ENDENTRY(setup(P))
I believe that phi0 should be +39 instead of -39.
After I made this change and recompiled/linked I ran the
following tests:
$proj +proj=gs48
-96 39
-0.00 -20670.77
$proj -I +proj=gs48
0 -20670.77
96dW 39d0'0.759"N
$proj -I +proj=gs48
0 0
168dE 39dN
I would expect the lon/lat at -96,39 to be 0,0 in x/y, and 0,0 x/y
to be at -96,39.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)
