Below follow some results from attempts to declare a CRS from a proj-string, with recent PROJ (using `projinfo`). I hope this sheds further light on the discussion. Main conclusion: it...

Hi @Robinlovelace, nice to see this tutorial! I don't know whether you want to involve QGIS and GRASS, but here's a problem that existed when using `ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable` about a month...
