Using These Two Classes , You can Convert Degree(latitude/longitude) to UTM and Vice Versa! private class Deg2UTM { double Easting; double Northing; int Zone; char Letter; private Deg2UTM(double Lat,double Lon) { Zone= (int) Math.floor(Lon/6+31); if (Lat<-72) Letter=”C”; else if (Lat<-64) Letter=”D”; else if (Lat<-56) Letter=”E”; else if (Lat<-48) Letter=”F”; … Read more
There several ways to do this. 1) Integrate the contributions from latitudinal strips. Here the area of each strip will be (Rcos(A)(B1-B0))(RdA), where A is the latitude, B1 and B0 are the starting and ending longitudes, and all angles are in radians. 2) Break the surface into spherical triangles, and calculate the area using Girard’s … Read more
Update: 04/2018: Vincenty distance is deprecated since GeoPy version 1.13 – you should use geopy.distance.distance() instead! The answers above are based on the Haversine formula, which assumes the earth is a sphere, which results in errors of up to about 0.5% (according to help(geopy.distance)). Vincenty distance uses more accurate ellipsoidal models such as WGS-84, and … Read more
