<DIV>Thank you for your advice. But it is essential to use UTM for my project because I cann't force to change to lat/lon projection. It is used by other works of the company in UTM and the data got from GPS is from others not me. In some shapefiles of my country are in UTM and x coord. go consistently when it goes pass the UTM boundary. So, I think it should be some method to calculate between this boundary. </DIV>

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Hi all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have trouble using data from GPS at the zone's boundary. My test area was around the boundary of UTM zone 47P and 48P. When I got data from 47P, it showed x coord. like 823311.6, and if went into zone 48P it showed x coord like 176668.35. But in all of my shape files, eg. rivers streets etc, its x coord. is smoothly continuous as 823311.6 in zone 47P and 894240 in zone 48P. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How can I translate UTM values in 48P to be continued from 47P zone? Or should you point me to the right place to find the information about this?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.</DIV>
<DIV>Krung.</DIV>
