[wxqc] Coordinate system

[Stephen Longmire]

Philip,

That wouldn't have been City Council District D in Houston, would it :-P

We have MANY things there that are screwed up - maybe the co-ordinate system
is what's really to blame!

(Sorry - slightly off topic!)

Norm,

The coordinates are supposed to be WGS84. There certainly used to be are 
area of Houston (as I recall) that was screwed up. If you can point to a 
specific area, then I can take a look at it. It would especially useful 
if you have some ground truth coordinates.....
