WGS84GEO_TO_HK80UTM(latitude, longitude)

Arguments

latitude	latitude in decimal degrees
longitude	longitude in decimal degrees

Details

This function first converts the WGS84GEO coordinates to WGS84UTM, and then converts the corresponding WGS84UTM coordinates to HK80UTM.

Value

N	Northern coordinate in meters
E	Eastern coordinate in meters
zone	zone, either 49 or 50
