Dear UseRs,Is there a way in R to convert latitude and longitude in degree.minute.second to meter? (e.g. 45'55'')Thankyou very much in Advance,Eliza [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Eliza,
Would transforming to UTM coordinates work?

see spTransform() in the sp package (and ask on R-Sig-Geo) There is also a function in one of the spatial-related packages to convert lat/long in dms format to decimal, but I don?t remember its name. -- Don MacQueen Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory 7000 East Ave., L-627 Livermore, CA 94550 925-423-1062 On 10/31/14, 8:22 AM, "eliza botto" <eliza_botto at hotmail.com> wrote:>Dear UseRs,Is there a way in R to convert latitude and longitude in >degree.minute.second to meter?
