Description
CoordTransform is an Android tool useful for coordinates conversion between Geodetic system (latitude & longitude as provided by GPS ) and Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) geographic coordinate system.Currently only supports 58 reference ellipsoids datums, but is not capable of transforming coordinates from one ellipsoid to another. Default ellipsoid is WGS84 used by GPS system.
Supports 3 different latitude / longitude input formats: decimal degrees (DD.DDD), degrees /decimal minutes (DD MM.MMM) and degrees/minutes and decimal seconds (DD MM SS.SSS). The UTM input format are those: Northing, Easting, Zone and Hemisphere.
This app allows you to work in UTM or latitude / longitude coordinates so you can use it with topographic maps. It's an useful tool for map reading and navigation (land or sea navigation). So is useful for outdoors sports like hiking, orienteering, bushwalking, mountain biking, kayaking, surveying or anything where you need to read coordinates from a map and convert coordinates between formats. Also useful in Search and Rescue (SAR) or GIS where conversion between different formats is needed.
Also you can enter coordinates dynamically using a map. Drag and drop the marker around the map and coordinates (both geographic and UTM) will be updated.
Coordinates can be copied to clipboard with long press or shared via SMS or e-mail.

Hemisphere combo box does not seem to work This tool seems accurate, but I found a few small user interface issues: (1) If I enter a latitude of 33 and longitude of 151 but I actually meant the latitude to be in the southern hemisphere, I thought I could use the combo box at the bottom to change the hemisphere. But it would seem that this is only for output purposes since changing it does nothing. The only way to correct the problem is to re-enter the latitude with a negative sign. This leads me to my second issue (2) which is that you cannot enter a new latitude without re-entering both latitude and longitude. Other than that it seems to work well. I like the feature to email the location.

Works for my purposes To the user below, the dev explains the read phone state in the app description. Did you read it before installing?

Why you need to read phone state and identity? Bad intention?

Useful for converting coordinates!

Negative values for lat and long wrong in sexagesimal mode.

Very useful when working with teams using different systems in the field.

Very useful when I am at sea and don't trust what the surveyor guesses at. Many thanks
