Hi everybody,
I'm looking for some package or function of R that can convert Coordinates of Longitude and Latitude in different formats, such like: Deg and decimals, UTM, degree minutes and seconds, etc...
I'm found something (Proj4 package) but I'm note sure if it's what I need.
I have a sheet with tree columns, the first has the sample identification, the second and third have the Longitude and Latitude, respectively in D M' S''. I need to transform it into Degrees and decimals.
I know that I can create a "function" with some basic mathematics to this one, but I'll need to convert other formats in the future and it won't be that easy. So, any suggestion well be appreciated.
Thanks in advice.
