Utm Zones

Hello Postgis & pg-Routing Friends,

at the moment i am working on a little scaled routing project where occoured some problems. Normally i was working with pg-routing in big scales (Cities) and had utm koordinates = metres but now i have degree koordinates in wgs84. probably i work on the whole ethiopia but there are 3 utm zones splitting this country so i can´t easily use utm koordinates? is there a way to transform the streetdata directly from degree into kilometres?

Thanks for your help...

    This should be possible with PostGIS "ST_Transform" or similar functions. Just check the PostGIS manual for it. You might want to create a new geometry column with the projection you like.
