It is faster than the default algorithm, but also diverges faster
as the distance from the central meridian increases.

+ Selects the algorithm to use. The hardcoded value and the one defined in
+ :ref:`proj-ini` default to ``poder_engsager``, that is the most precise
+ one.
+
+ When using auto, a heuristics based on the input coordinate to transform
+ is used to determine if the faster Evenden-Snyder method can be used, for
+ faster computation, without causing an error greater than 0.1 mm (for an
+ ellipsoid of the size of Earth)
+
+ Note that :option:`+approx` and :option:`+algo` are mutually exclusive.
