1. The coord2usng function requires both UTM and longitude latitude coordinates, and calculates the UTM zone on the fly. This method was chosen due to common confusion about zone numbers. There are a variety of other ways to structure the conversion. 2. USNG2coord requires only USNG, and is fairly straightforward. Address Elevation Other common Altitude, height, Z-coordinate names for this element Distance of the address in specified units above or below a vertical datum, as Definition defined by a specified coordinate reference system.
