Finds the central meridian of the specified UTM zone.

Parameters

utmZone

a UTM zone

cmInDeg

a central meridian (in decimal degrees), passed by reference (out)

errorMessage

an error message, passed by reference (out), that contains detailed error / warning information

Return Value

true - the function has succeeded, false - it has failed

Remarks

The function verifies validity of the input arguments before running the conversion. It takes into account the 40.0 km overlap with the adjacent UTM zones and 0.5 degree overlap with UPS (Univeral Polar Stereographic) projection.

Example

This sample shows how to call the UTM.GetCentralMeridianInDegOfUtmZone method from C# code:

 string errorMessage = String.Empty;
 
 UtmZone utmZone = UtmZone.Zone_18_from_78W_to_72W;
 
 double cmInDeg = Double.NaN;

 if (UTM.GetCentralMeridianInDegOfUtmZone(utmZone, out cmInDeg, out errorMessage))
 {
     Console.WriteLine("Central meridian, in degrees: " + cmInDeg.ToString());
 }
 else
 {
     Console.WriteLine(errorMessage);
 }
