4.6.10. UTMTOOL

The UTMTOOL program provides coordinate conversion back and forth among LAT-LON, UTM, and LAMBERT coordinate systems. Longitudes are specified in signed degrees such that for the United States, longitudes are negative. The coordinate system “UAM/EPS” refers to a grid with the kilometer units instead of the UTM standard units, which are meters.

UTMTOOL also provides grid-corner calculations, assuming either a UTM-based or a Lambert-based grid, as appropriate (to get UTM or Lambert corners of a LAT-LON based grid, work one corner at a time using the coordinate conversion facilities). The program will repeatedly prompt you for operation to be performed from the following menu:

  1. Convert from LAT-LON to UTM
  2. Convert from UTM to LAT-LON
  3. Convert from UAM/EPS to LAT-LON
  4. Initialize new LAMBERT projection by name
  5. Define a new LAMBERT projection by angles
  6. Convert from LAMBERT to UTM
  7. Convert from UTM to LAMBERT
  8. Convert from LAMBERT to LAT-LON
  9. Convert from LAT-LON to LAMBERT
  10. Get LAT-LON grid corners from UTM specs
  11. Get UTM grid corners from LAT-LON specs
  12. Get LAT-LON grid corners from LAMBERT specs
  13. Get LAMBERT grid corners from LAT-LON specs
  14. Quit the program.
