Hi R-sig-geo list,

I am very new to spatial stat using R. I have a basic (pretty much to most of you) question. I have data set with "Longitude" and "Latitude" columns and want to convert to them "UTM" Although I found example of it from the previous questions and answers, I am still struggling to handle the task. Can anyone give me step by step guide as detailed as possible? I copied and pasted partial data below.

> df
   Latitude Longitude     V1          V2           V3          V4           V5
1  44.93342 -91.26773 5.633098 5.768218 5.455419 0.000000 3.797475
2  45.26847 -91.00759 5.571924 5.236741 0.000000 3.797475 4.450634
