23 Aug 2011 utm2deg Function to convert vectors of UTM coordinates into Lat/Lon vectors (WGS84) Author: Rafael Palacios nawaz, r

Dear Val Schmidt

While calculating latitude, the function checks whether the alphabetical letter represents Northern Hemisphere or Souther Hemisphere. The Latitude is then calculated by looking at the northing values. The hemisphere is Northern for both X and N. That is why you get the same result for latitude.

I think I must be missing something. I don't see in this code where it offsets the latitude correctly based on the UTM zone character field. For example, I get the same result with '17 N' and '17 X'. The first is at the equator, the second is near Greenland.

Nice contribution. Thanks Rafael!
