Q&A

Trying to get oblique mercator working with an equator at 84N with no luck. It will work up to 83N. Is this a bug or a feature??

Amending, just tested and -JOb works at 84N, so must be a bug with -JOa.

Hi Rick, yes looks like a bug. Could you please post an issue on the GitHub site and include those examples, please. That way it does not get lost in the forum exchanges.
