Create a Longitude/Latitude Bounding Box from MGRS Data

Converts UTM coordinates of MGRS cells, which may span several UTM zones, to WGS 84 and returns their combined bounding box.

Usage

mgrs_to_latlong_bbox(df)

Arguments

df

A data frame with at least three columns: cellCode (MGRS codes; the first three characters give the UTM zone and latitude band), and xcoord/ycoord (UTM easting and northing).

Value

An sf::st_bbox() object in EPSG:4326 (longitude/latitude).

Examples

# \donttest{
df <- data.frame(
  cellCode = c("32UUC", "32UUD"),
  xcoord = c(500000, 501000),
  ycoord = c(5600000, 5601000)
)
bbox <- mgrs_to_latlong_bbox(df)
# }
