#' Convert HK1980GRID coordinates to HK80UTM coordinates
#' 
#' Convert HK1980GRID coordinates to HK80UTM coordinates
#' 
#' This function converts the HK1980GRID coordinates into HK80GEO coordinates
#' (latitude and longitude) first, and converts the later into HK80UTM
#' coordinates.
#' 
#' @param N Numeric, Northern coordinate in meters
#' @param E Numeric, Eastern coordinate in meters
#' @return \item{N}{Northern coordinate in meters} \item{E}{Eastern coordinate
#' in meters} \item{zone}{UTM zone number, 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.
