an additional piece of data by way of the
ellipsoid. This
needs to be prompted
for in the setup, and held in the config file.
i kind of assume it will always be wgs84 - 23 for
Geo::Coordinates::UTM - or nad83 which is centimetres of
difference. this is what gps, the big mapping sites, etc use
- this could be a default config option without a prompt?
I thought that you needed different ellipsoids for different parts of the globe.
wgs84 or nad83 may work well for California, but I doubt if they would for Europe.
