Alright so it should be pretty simple but im a total noob when it comes this stuff.
37.4192008972 -122.057403564
These are latitude and longitude values.
I want to project them on a flat surface so in pixels x,y coordinates.

So on a screen of 1920x1080 its  should for example be 931,296.

Preferably in python as thats the language im coding it in.

Anyone?

Read this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5983099/converting-longitude-latitude-to-x-y-coordinate (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5983099/converting-longitude-latitude-to-x-y-coordinate)

The stackoverflow solution is in Java, but maybe it helps.
