Hello Artem,
OK thanks.
What would be really good, incidentally, would be a resource on the web which
explains all the subtleties with projections and ellipsoids (which I probably
only half-understand TBH), with appropriate conversion equations, so that
people who haven't done formal GIS training could read and understand the
theory and then easily implement the code. Maybe such a resource exists
though I haven't found it yet... Maybe it should go on the OSM wiki?
