What tool would convert map coordinates ?
 

Hi to Everyone,

I need to convert map coordinates from Lambert II + to decimal degrees.
I found a tool which works online on a web site, but the results lack
precision : it gives degrees, minutes and integer seconds (no decimal
after the seconds, while one second is about 30 meters of distance).
More accurate tools are available for MSWIN, but I wish to use Linux
resources. I have installed the gdal package, which I have successfully
used for other purposes, but I don't know whether or not this would fit
my present purpose. I don't have access to the GDAL doc, since it is
provided on a strange format (dox), that I don't know how to use.


Thanks in advance for your help

May I suggest you try

apt-cache search coordinates
libgeo-coordinates-utm-perl - Perl extension for Latitiude Longitude
conversions
libgeo-helmerttransform-perl - Transformations between coordinates in
different datums

You might also try asking on the osgeo (open source geo) email list.

I use the proj command for my coordinate conversions. I have no idea
if it supports what you need.
