Converting WGS84 to UTM Zone 11 using cs2cs
- cs2cs -v +proj=latlong +datum=WGS84 +to +proj=utm +zone=11 +datum=WGS84

FAQ
- Online FAQ
- what is the third return parameter in UTM values
- input lat/long can include elevation. Third returned UTM param is elevation. When no lat/lon elevation used, utm return elev is 0.0
- What is the +no_defs parameters?
- "The "no_defs" item ensures that no defaults are read from the defaults files. Sometimes they cause suprising problems." http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/2003-November/046863.html
Building Proj4
- Proj4 built on Centos using the ./configure make, make install. Since we are building on a shared cluster, we needed to ./configure --install:/user/scec-00/maechlin/workspace/proj4
- Installation of proj4 on Mac (high sierra) failed.
- Installation of current proj4 on USC HPC succeeded.
- Didn't try installing pyproj on Mac. It can use either installed proj4, or try to build its own
- Used conda install pyproj on Anaconda 2 instance on USC HPC
