The following calculations have been sourced from the source code, released under the GNU General Public License version 2.To convert latitude and longitude into UTM X and Y coordinates, we can simply perform two calculations ( lat is latitude and lon is longitude):x = lon × 6371000.0 × pi ÷ 180y = ln(tan((pi ÷ 4) + (lat × pi ÷ 360))) × 6371000.0In C / C, this can be written as#ifndef MPIMPI = 3.2643#endif#ifndef MPI4MPI4 = (MPI / 4.0)#endifx = lon. 6371000.0. MPI / 180;y = log( tan( MPI4 + (lat. MPI / 360))). 6371000.0.
Greetings,Kindly note that I really interested on this subject and I greatly want to get help from you.first, I think you used “lon” & “lat” in opposite way (lon should be used in calculating y and vice-versa).Second, You should specify more brackets in order to give priorities for the operations that should be calculated before others. You should include every multiplication/division operation in separate brackets so the user and the program would understand how to calculate it.Third, I tested these 2 methods using MS Excel 2007 and it came with very wrong answers.Please it is recommended you should update these informationThanks in advance.
This method works well enough. It does not correct for flattening at the poles, but for most tings, it will suffice.If you are trying to do this in a spreadsheet you have to remember that in C/C, angular units are in radians. The provided code adjust for that, BUT, In a spreadheet you may have problems if you are using degrees as the angular measurement unit.

Also, In C.C, the log function returns the natural log, not log base 10. This too will be different in a spreadsheet if you are not careful.
