Azimuthal Equidistant¶

Classification	Azimuthal
Available forms	Forward and inverse, spherical and ellipsoidal
Alias	aeqd
Domain	2D
Input type	Geodetic coordinates
Output type	Projected coordinates

Options¶

Note

All options are optional for the Azimuthal Equidistant projection.

+guam¶: Use Guam ellipsoidal formulas. Only accurate near the Island of Guam (\(\lambda\approx 144.5^{\circ}\), \(\phi\approx 13.5^{\circ}\))

+lat_0=<value>¶

Latitude of projection center.

Defaults to 0.0.

+lon_0=<value>¶

Longitude of projection center.

Defaults to 0.0.

+x_0=<value>¶

False easting.

Defaults to 0.0.

+y_0=<value>¶

False northing.

Defaults to 0.0.

+ellps=<value>¶

The name of a built-in ellipsoid definition.

See Ellipsoids for more information, or execute proj -le for a list of built-in ellipsoid names.

Defaults to “GRS80”.

+R=<value>¶

Radius of the sphere, given in meters. If used in conjunction with +ellps, +R takes precedence.

See Ellipsoid size parameters for more information.
