This year we plan to be on the road to Arkansas on election day. Legit absentee.
The program we use to output customer files in the format they request has some crazy measurement systems. I can output a file to be in the easy stuff, of feet, meters, miles, yards and so on. The goofy stuff is something I wish I could turn off and have hidden to avoid selecting it by accident or just having to scroll past it all. I can't imagine a real burning need for British Chains (Sears 1922 Truncated) or German Legal Meters, Gold Coast feet, grades, (French Angular Units) or Indian Yards.
Of course it has every projection ever invented I think. I doubt there is much use for Bipolar Oblique Conic West, Interrupted Goode Homolosine, Winkel Tripel or Sinusoidal. Of course we have the datum to select as well. I hope to have a client request Interplanetary Mars or Pluto. And always Interplanetary Mars 2000 and not the old Interplanetary Mars 1990.
Mostly we use feet, inches, and meters and state plane or UTM.
