    <p>Nope. You need to reproject your points, and geopy isn't going to do that for you.</p> <p>What you need is <a href="http://www.gdal.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">libgdal</a> and some Python bindings. I always use the bindings in GeoDjango, but there are <a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/GdalOgrInPython" rel="nofollow noreferrer">other alternatives</a>.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: It is just a mathematical formula, but it's non-trivial. There are thousands of different ways to represent the surface of the Earth. See <a href="http://spatialreference.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> for a huge but incomplete list.</p> <p>There are two parts to a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_projection" rel="nofollow noreferrer">geographic projection</a> of the Earth-- a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_coordinate_system" rel="nofollow noreferrer">coordinate system</a> and a <a href="http://geography.about.com/od/geographyintern/a/datums.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">datum</a>. The latter is essentially a three-dimensional model of the planet. When you say you want to convert latitude/longitude points to UTM values, you're missing a couple of pieces of the puzzle.</p> <p>Let's assume that your lat/long points are based on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Geodetic_System" rel="nofollow noreferrer">WGS84 datum</a>, because that's a pretty common standard for lat/long points these days. You want to convert those points to a UTM coordinate system. But to which UTM coordinate system? There are <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Transverse_Mercator_coordinate_system" rel="nofollow noreferrer">60 of them</a>. </p>

    1. COThanks for your answer. I'm confused: why do I need to reproject (maybe I'm just not clear what you mean by that) the point when my UTM link above says it's just a math formula to convert from one to the other? Also, can you point me at the specific places in the GDAL or GeoDjango docs where the conversion is shown? I've dug through them and can't find what I'm looking for.

    3. COMy current lat/ long pairs are all values from a Google Map. Is there a standard expected UTM system (for North American residents, if it matters)? Sorry to be so clueless on this. I figured it would be the same as going from degrees, minutes, seconds to decimals or vice-versa.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
