Haven't registered yet? The North American Association of Summer Sessions (NAASS) is an association of deans, directors and administrators of college and university summer programs located throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
UTM zones are numbered 1 through 60, starting at the international date line, longitude 180Â°, and proceeding east. Zone 1 extends from 180Â° W to 174Â° W and is centered on 177Â° W. Each zone is divided into horizontal bands spanning 8 degrees of latitude.
@Thomas: Actually, you can be very close to the poles. I checked against a UTM calculation using equal x-and y-displacements of 1400 m (so the total displacement is 2 km). The results are good to 8.6 meters or better.The worst latitude (for this direction and amount of displacement) is 81 degrees: the approximation actually gets more accurate as you move north and its error stays below 10 meters until you get beyond 89.6 degrees! â whuberâ¦ Oct 27 '10 at 21:36.2. I'm looking for an algorithm which when given a latitude and longitude pair and a vector translation in meters in Cartesian coordinates (x,y) would give me a new coordinate. Sort of like a reverse Haversine.
