Hi,

More in general you need to take a look at the sp-pacakge for Spatial classes in R. Once your data is in these classes you can use spTransform from the rgdal pacakge to perform the projection. spTransform uses the proj4 library. You need to find the so called proj4 strings describing both the source and target projection.

cheers,
Paul

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
