And that would fit nicely with the rest of measurements being in feet. But then... how is the distance from the prime meridian taken - at equator, at the current lattitude, or as a distance from the (0,0) point?

They are in negative, but I have the values in state plane - I was tired and burned out I guess because it just dawned on me this morning!

So:
1713881.3750,833601.8125 = 36.0365602, -079.9677260

Now I just have to find the code to convert back
