Does anyone have any code that can do this? I have tried to convert code from C# with little success, (I couldn't figure out what was wrong). I have looked at the equation
I don't think I possess the skills to convert that into c. Does anyone know of say a library, or pre existing code that can convert my gps points?
Here is the C code I have been trying to convert.
Otherwise, I will have to use long and latt coordinates, which appear to have NO numerical, (to meters), significance.
Please let me know what you guys think.
Thanks
I am not sure what you are getting at, but the typical GGA NMEA data has info to thousandths of a minute:

For lattitude, it is about 1 mile to 1 minute, so you should be good for 1/1000 of a mile or about 5 feet. This is what you get from GPS, no calculation can get you any more precision!
The subject says you want to convert Lat/Long to UTM but then you say you've been trying to convert code which calculates the distance between two lat/long coordinates. You need to explain more clearly what it is you actually want to do.
I will have to use long and latt coordinates, which appear to have NO numerical, (to meters), significance.
What does that mean?
