reference ellipsoid changes with the particular region of the Earth. A list of reference
ellipsoids (datum) is presented in Table 4.

The mathematical formulation to convert geographical coordinates to UTM and vice
versa are presented in Appendix 1 showing how GEOtoUTM.m and UTMtoGEO.m
scripts work. In the following picture the polygon drawn in Figure 39 is plotted using
UTM coordinates.
