[Gdal-dev] Lat/Lon to UTM conversion

[Hamish]

> Moreover, how can I find the UTM zone?


I just put online a little script to do this.

"utm_which_zone.sh"

The core is written for Matlab but works with the Free-software Octave
as well. If octave is installed you can just run the script from the
bash prompt.


shell script wrapper by Markus Neteler, matlab code by me.

or do a Google image search for "utm" and you will get a number 
of world maps with the zones displayed.
