Convert from latitude, longitude to x, y

Question

I want to convert GPS location (latitude, longitude) into x,y coordinates. I found many links about this topic and applied it, but it doesn\'t give me the correct answer!

Answer 1

Its better to convert to utm coordinates, and treat that as x and y.

import utm
u = utm.from_latlon(12.917091, 77.573586)

The result will be (779260.623156606, 1429369.8665238516, 43, 'P') The first two can be treated as x,y coordinates, the 43P is the UTM Zone, which can be ignored for small areas (width upto 668 km).
