[R-sig-Geo] UTM to longlat

[Edzer Pebesma]

Yes, but you will not like that call.

In R (package sp), each spatial data set can only have one single
projection. I'd suggest, in pseudo-code

- import the data into a data.frame
- for each UTM zone do:
   select the locations
   set their CRS
   reproject to long/lat
- cbind the locations to a single data structure
- convert back to data.frame if needed.
