     A Converter is responsible for the conversion of coordinates between two  different Coordinate Systems (CS) or a Spatial Reference System (SRS).
     A CS can be uniquely identified by a numeric code (SRID).  This implementation is based on the PROJ4 cartographic library and only works if it has been enabled.
