Sorry there are so many - but there are a lot of coordinate systems. From another listserve. I edited the messages, there may be some repeats. Most of the time health GIS folks do not have to worry about coordinates and converting them form one form to another - but if you have to do it and you do it wrong its easy to end up with bad results, distorted maps and often not know it.
