CoordinateLock_UTM_MGRS_Zone Method

Locks converted UTM and MGRS longitudinal grid zones to the specified zone number. This will allow over-projection and allow users to remain in a single desired zone. This should be used with caution as precision loss will occur.

public void Lock_UTM_MGRS_Zone(
	int zone
)

Parameters

zone  Int32
UTM longitudinal grid zone

Example

The following example locks a Coordinate that would normal project into grid zone 31, into grid zone 30 for over-projection.
C#
Coordinate coord = new Coordinate(51.5074,1);   

//Normal projection at this Coordinate below
//UTM:  31U 361203mE 5708148mN
//MGRS: 31U CT 61203 08148

//Lock UTM and MGRS zones to 30 for over-projection.
coord.Lock_UTM_MGRS_Zone(30);

//Over-projected coordinates
Console.WriteLine(coord.UTM);  //30U 777555mE 5713840mN
Console.WriteLine(coord.MGRS); //30U YC 77555 13840
