"The zero coordinate point of the Swiss National Survey LV95"... in Madeira.

A friend having some holidays in Madeira found this: a mark for the 0,0 of the Swiss CRS.
(Well, the zero is on the sea, but not that far ;)

btw: Georust has released GeoJSON 1.0: the library has been stable for a long time, but @ikawe recently shipped a significant perf improvement (it was already extremely fast. It is now faster) and we felt that it was time to commit to a stable 1.0 release: https://crates.io/crates/geojson / https://docs.rs/geojson/1.0.0/geojson/

*PROJ in the browser*

Finally, after a long time and learning a lot in the process, I am getting a webpage that uses PROJ to perform coordinate transformations (similar to cs2cs)

https://jjimenezshaw.github.io/wasm-proj/transform.html

Best features:
- fast!
- it uses grid files when needed, downloading only the needed part of them.

There's another one that replicates projinfo:
https://jjimenezshaw.github.io/wasm-proj/projinfo.html

It has its js library behind it. I'm still developing it, improving it & adding more features.

Enjoy!
