If I tried using the UTM2DEG.m file, it looks like I need to
know the right UTMzone. Are there anyway to know it
automatically? For example, the 
Lat=6597500;
Lon=348100;

By changing the zone, I receive the following Lat/Lon
 UTMZone: 17 J; Lat= -30.7457, Lon= -82.5868
 UTMZone: 18 J; Lat= -30.7457, Lon= -76.5868
 UTMZone: 19 J; Lat= -30.7457, Lon= -70.5868
 UTMZone: 20 J; Lat= -30.7457, Lon= -64.5868
 UTMZone: 21 J; Lat= -30.7457, Lon= -58.5868
 UTMZone: 22 J; Lat= -30.7457, Lon= -52.5868
 UTMZone: 23 J; Lat= -30.7457, Lon= -46.5868
 UTMZone: 24 J; Lat= -30.7457, Lon= -40.5868

I would appreciate your suggestions
