utm_to_wgs84(easting, northing, utm_zone, is_south=False)

Convert UTM coordinates to WGS84 coordinates.

Parameters:

eastingfloat, array_like

Meters easting.

northingfloat, array_like

Meters northing.

utm_zoneint, array_like

Notes

The UTM zones are 6° wide, with zone 31 covering [0°,6°), with higher zone numbers to the east. The easting values are defined as meters east of 500km west of the central meridian in each zone. The northing values are meters north of the equator on the northern hemisphere, and meters north of 10,000km on the southern hemisphere. This implementation uses formulas from the Wikipedia article.
