When working with the Google Maps API for Android, coordinates are given in longitude and latitude values. It is required to translate these values ​​into meters. Are there any libraries for this so as not to reinvent the wheel? I am writing in Java.

    How many meters will be 45 ° N 33 ° W? - default locale

  • Interesting, thanks. Perhaps there is something known, but I must confess that I did not understand how these values ​​are calculated. Can explain a technique in the text of a question? Or add a link to it? - default locale

    For translation, I used the converter from the site . There is still GOST 32453-2013. - Denis

The necessary functionality has been described in the classes of this project. To convert from a geographic coordinate system to UTM, you can use the following code:

 utmCoord = UTMCoord.fromLatLon(Angle.fromDegreesLatitude(latitude), Angle.fromDegreesLongitude(longitude));

We get the result in the form: 41 N 371734.70589118626E 6293516.067325422N, where the values ​​371734.70589118626E 6293516.067325422N are expressed in meters.
