LL to UTM
Thanks. I looked at spTransform prior to posting but don't understand it.
What I want is to create a function that returns UTM coordinates:
LL2UTM <- function(lat, long, zone = 18) {
...
}
If necessary, zone=18 can be hardcoded in the function and that
arg removed.
I assume that using spTransform its just a one line body. Can
you give me the specific line that it should be?
Thanks.

Gabor, package rgdal provides an interface to the PROJ.4 library for projection of geographical data. Look for the function (or rather method) spTransform. It takes any of the spatial classes provided by package sp, and afaik any of the known projection systems, including UTM and ellipsoids (LL reference "model"). -- Edzer Gabor Grothendieck wrote:
I am currently using this web page to convert LL to UTM (and UTM to LL). http://home.hiwaay.net/~taylorc/toolbox/geography/geoutm.html All my points are in zone 18. How would I accomplish the same thing using R? Thanks.
