I need to convert Latitude/Longitude coordinates into UTM, in C++, specifying which zone to use.

I am working with locations that fall in two zones, and would like to project them all into one zone - since they are not too far from the border, I am hoping the error introduced by doing so won't be too much.

So far I had been using Chuck Gantz's library, which converts LL to UTM, but it does not support conversion from LL to UTM specifying which zone to use.

And how is C++ connected with this pure-algorithmic problem? – Spo1ler Jun 15 '12 at 20:10
Because I'm developing in C++ and need a library in that langugage. – iomartin Jun 19 '12 at 14:16

You can use MSP GEOTRANS (The UTM class receives a UTM zone override parameter)

or GeographicLib (Use the SetAltZone method).

Thanks @Lior, GeographicLib does the job nicely – iomartin Jun 19 '12 at 14:18
