UTM ↔ WGS84 conversion in C++

About

This is a simple port of the code on the Geographic/UTM Coordinate Converter page (offsite link) from Javascript to C++. Using this you can easily convert between UTM and WGS84 (latitude and longitude). Accuracy seems to be around 50cm (I suspect rounding errors are limiting precision).
This code is provided as-is and has been minimally tested; enjoy but use at your own risk! The license for UTM.cpp and UTM.h is the same as the original Javascript: "The C++ source code in UTM.cpp and UTM.h may be copied and reused without restriction."
Though nominally written in C++ it should compile fine using a C99 compiler (just rename UTC.cpp to UTC.c).

Functions

Two main functions are provided:
int LatLonToUTMXY(FLOAT lat, FLOAT lon, int zone, FLOAT& x, FLOAT& y)
Convert a latitude/longitude pair (WGS84) to UTM zone/easting/northing.
A zone can be specified; if none is given (zone == 0) then the correct one will be computed.
Returns the zone used and places the easting and northing (in meters) into x and y.
void UTMXYToLatLon (FLOAT x, FLOAT y, int zone, bool southhemi, FLOAT& lat, FLOAT& lon)
Convert UTM position (zone/easting/northing) to a latitude/longitude pair (WGS84).
If the position is in the northern hemisphere then southhemi should be set to false
If the position is in the southern hemisphere then southhemi should be set to true
No return value; the computed latitude and longitude are passed in lat and lon.
For both of these functions, FLOAT is either double (for 64-bit floating point) or float (for 32-bit floating point). Since the return values are passed by reference the type of these variables must be the same in your code and in the library. See below for details.

Usage

Download UTM.h and UTM.cpp.
Copy UTM.h and UTM.cpp into the same directory as the rest of your code.
Place the following at the top of the file where you're doing the conversions:
#include "UTM.h"
By default this code uses 32 bit single precision floating point. For 64 bit double precision floating point edit UTM.h:
Change #define FLOAT_32 to //#define FLOAT_32 and change //#define FLOAT_64 to #define FLOAT_64

//
// Converts x and y coordinates in the Universal Transverse Mercator
// projection to a latitude/longitude pair.
//
// Inputs:
// x - The easting of the point, in meters.
// y - The northing of the point, in meters.
// zone - The UTM zone in which the point lies.
// southhemi - True if the point is in the southern hemisphere;
//               false otherwise.
//
// Outputs:
// lat - The latitude of the point, in radians.
// lon - The longitude of the point, in radians.
// 
// Returns:
// The function does not return a value.
