WGS84UTM_TO_HK80UTM {HK80}

Convert WGS84UTM coordinates TO HK80UTM coordinates

Description

Convert WGS84UTM coordinates TO HK80UTM coordinates

Usage

WGS84UTM_TO_HK80UTM(N, E, zone = c(49, 50))

Arguments

N

Numeric, Northern coordinate in meter

E

Numeric, Eastern coordinate in meter

zone

zone, numeric, either 49 or 50

Details

This functions uses a simplified relationship to convert the coordinates. If zone is 49, res.N = N + 195, res.E = E - 245; if zone is 50, res.N = N + 205, res.E = E - 260

Value

N

Northern coordinates in meters

E

Eastern coordinates in meters

zone

either 49 or 50

Note

The coordinates should be within the range of Hong Kong. Providing coordinates outside Hong Kong will lead to wrong results.
