Sorry - I didn't notice your question because I lost track of it in
the middle of a discussion of someone else's quesiton..
What precisely are you trying to do? More to the point, what's going
wrong?
What map projection do you want to use? If you're having trouble
choosing a map projection, what characteristics are most important to
you: equal area, true angles, true distance in radial, horizontal, or
vertical directions, etc.
What do you want to do with the projection once you've initialized it?
