Yes that's not obvious but internally SRS in GDAL are not modelled as a proj.4 string, but as WKT. So there's a importFromProj4() and exportFromProj4(), and >possible loss can happen when some concepts cannot be matched exactly.


Found these two that not even with the +wktext agree


Perhaps you don't use the same proj.4 version ?

Yep, I was using a 4.8 version from OSGeo4W. With 4.9.3 I get the same as with GDAL









gdaltransform -s_srs EPSG:4326 -t_srs "+proj=aeqd +ellps=WGS84 +units=m

+wktext"

4.897 52.371

384537.462362467 5809944.80754693 0



echo 4.897 52.371 | proj +proj=aeqd +ellps=WGS84 +units=m

384923.72       5809986.5


I get the same result as GDAL (with proj 4.9.2)


$ echo 4.897 52.371 | proj +proj=aeqd +ellps=WGS84 +units=m

384537.46       5809944.81








gdaltransform -s_srs EPSG:4326 -t_srs "+proj=robin +ellps=WGS84 +units=m

+wktext"

4.897 52.371

394576.527707384 5570940.8420985 0



echo 4.897 52.371 | proj +proj=robin +ellps=WGS84 +units=m

394576.51       5571243.64


$ echo 4.897 52.371 | proj +proj=robin +ellps=WGS84 +units=m

394576.53       5570940.84
