UtmLatLongConverter

A UTM -> Lat/Long (or vice versa) converter.

How to Use

Call setDatum with the index of the datum to be used and then call the various conversion functions latLngToUtm(), utmToLatLng() or natoToLatLng(), utmToNato(), natoToUtm() to convert between the various coordinate systems, hopefully accurately!

Caveat

NOTE: no attempt is made to compensate for the irregular grid in the area around the southern coast of Norway and Svalbard (zones 32V and 31X, 33X, 35X and 37X) because of this results returned for NATO coordinates for lat/lng or UTM values located in these regions will not be correct.
