Use different map projections/SRID in different cities to improve accuracy of distance calculations #3655

Open misaugstad opened 2 months ago

Brief description of problem/feature

This is mostly a note to myself to look further into this in the future. But different map projections are more accurate in different parts of the world. We should be able to use different projections based on city, storing the projection used in the config table. Not sure what all the implications are or how much of a benefit we get out of it right now.
