Thanks to all who replied. It seems that most agree that Goodes is a problem to deal with. There is some C code to deal with the projection at: ftp://edcftp.cr.usgs.gov/pub/software/misc/gihll2ls.c which is said to be: "sample code in C that converts Goodes homolosine map projection to nice, manageable rectangular lat / lon coordinates" according to http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/1658/earth.html There is a veru good and explanatory article about Goodes in Arcinfo at: http://www.esri.com/library/userconf/proc98/PROCEED/TO850/PAP844/P844.HTM Finally, there is actually a projection tool that converts raster data from Homolosine into a few others (have not used it yet). It can be found at http://ag.arizona.edu/~epfirman/windisp3.html Other info can be found at: There was a post on the ESRI support site about this projection, maybe you can contact that person directly. Here's the link to the post: http://support.esri.com/search/ViewListPost.asp?dbid=2960 Also, there is an ESRI Conference listing about the projection, it's from 1997, but may help you.
