Coordinates and projection
You never can have enough sources on this topic. Here are
SharpGIS – Spatial references, coordinate systems, projections, datums, ellipsoids – confusing?

If you feel like ending a conversation with a developer then simply bring up the topic of character encodings.
Also:
- A JavaApplet that demonstrates different map projections.
- The Spatial References website, which lists projections information in various formats.
