             Summary: Transverse Mercator (EPSG:9807)
                 Key: SIS-249
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SIS-249
             Project: Spatial Information Systems
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
            Assignee: Martin Desruisseaux


(Note: in the EPSG dataset, Gauss-Kruger and Gauss-Boaga projections are 
considered to be the same than Transverse Mercator.)

We could port most of the Transverse Mercator projection in Geotk (after IP 
review), but the formulas changed. The formulas used by Geotk were derived from 
USGS, while the formulas used by EPSG (called "JHS") are accurate over a wider 
range of longitudes.

Consequently, we should rewrite the Transverse Mercator projection from the new 
EPSG formulas.
