Hi,
To convert coordinates I use for example:
http://www.icc.es/geotex/egeoutmcatala2.html (a geodesic calculator)
An example of GPS coordinates and results are:
42º 14' 54.568" - 4677448.415
2º 56' 20.526" - 494971.3073
42º 14' 58.548" - 4677573.222
2º 57' 37.05" - 496724.1829
The correct containers are the little yellow squares and displaced are de
blue ones:

The coordinates are form the first two containers in top rigth side of the
map. I think you are right because I tried to place manually the containers
and coordinates are displaced, so, how could I convert correctly GPS
coordinates to UTM?
Thank you.
