An *excellent* reference is _Map Projections -- A Working Manual_, US
Geological Survey Professional Paper 1395, by John P. Snyder, available from
the Superintendent of Documents, US Government Printing Office, Washington, DC
20402.  The Superintendent of Documents number is I 19.16:1395.  It is $20.00
according to the sticker on the inside of my (well, actually the Navy's) copy.
This has *everything* that you might want to know to get started in fiddling
with map projections, including satellit tracks, etc.
