WGS84UTM_TO_HK1980GRID: Convert WGS84UTM coordinates to HK1980GRID coordinates

In helixcn/HK80: Conversion Tools for HK80 Geographical Coordinate System

Description

Convert WGS84UTM coordinates to HK1980GRID coordinates

Usage

WGS84UTM_TO_HK1980GRID(N, E, zone)

Arguments

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

Details

This function converts the coordinates to WGS84GO, and then to HK80GO and eventually to HK1980GRID.

Value

N	Numerical, Northern coordinate in meters.
E	Numerical, Eastern coordinate in meters.

Note

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