hello
I prepared a map of northern europe in Lat/lon location, now i would like to reproject
it to location with meters unit so my question is, what is the best projection for this
area (baltic sea area).
best regards

Hi Maciej

The recently deployed EPSG Geodetic Parameter Registry site
[1] might be usefull when searching for hints in such cases.

AFAIK for pan-European mapping the ETRS-LAEA (EPSG 3035) and
ETRS-LCC (EPSG 3034) are often used.

Or try asking on PROJ.4 list?
