Installation

You can install RDHtoLatLong from github with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("dosanjosfilho/RDHtoLatLong")

Example

Converting the coordinates of the city of Amsterdam in RDH to Lat Long

library(RDHtoLatLong)

x <- 121687
y <- 487484

RDHtoLatLong(x, y)
#> [1] 52.374216  4.898012
